Shahid gets candid about his role
Talking about his look in the film, Shahid mentioned that there's no limit to how much one should invest in a character, especially for those who love what they do. He told IANS, "I would say whatever it takes to get the job done, but of course, we are professional actors. You know, you don't need to actually do something extreme. I think sometimes people believe an actor should prepare like that."
He added, "Some actors think like that, but I don't prescribe to that kind of mindset. I think it's a job, and you should know professionally how to do it. But you should give everything you have to make it the best that it can be."
Ever since his debut in 2003 with Ishq Vishk, Shahid has portrayed memorable characters in films such as Tommy Singh in Udta Punjab, Haider Meer in Haider, and Dev Ambre in the upcoming film Deva. Other notable roles include Vivah, Phata Poster Nikhla Hero, Jab We Met, Haider, Kabir Singh, and Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya, among others.
