ShareActor Shahid Kapur, who has no films apart from the upcoming 'Vivaah', insists on being selective.
Salman Khan is the iconic Prem, a character you are now playing in 'Vivaah'. Do you fear being compared?
I wouldn't even dare to compare myself with Salman. I am his huge fan. There was no pressure of comparison as such. The character here is pretty different .
Is it true that Salman walked out of 'Milenge Milenge' because of the differences between you two?
That's not true. I don't even know that he is not a part of 'Milenge Milenge' anymore. In fact, the producers of the film have not got in touch with me since the past two years. I don't know what's happening to that film.
Some of your films have not donewell. Have you now become selective?
I would be lying if I say I haven't made wrong choices.But I have learnt from them. Yes, I have become very choosy. I haven't signed anything for a while. I need to sit back and review what I really want to do. I am young. So there is no hurry really. I am glad to be in times where different kinds of films are being made.
Will a traditional love story like 'Vivaah' find its place in this age of multiplex movies?
Why not? First, 'Vivaah' has auniqueconcept. It trails the journey of a couple from their engagement to their marraige. The couple is getting into an arranged marriage. Very few films have dealt with the theme of arranged marriages. The youth will identify with this, as they could encounter a similar situation in their lives. Sooraji (Bharjatya) has treated it interestingly.It will make you think even after you have left the theatre. You will take a part of the film with you.
