Shahid Kapoor has come a long way in his career. Well, in this long journey, he has delivered many hits that have left a mark on his fans’ minds. Among those are Vivah co-starring Amrita Rao. The family entertainer was loved by the audience and is considered one of his best films. However, in an exclusive conversation with Pinkvilla, Shahid Kapoor made a shocking revelation about the film. He revealed that he had asked Sooraj Barjatya to replace him. Yes, you are reading right. Scroll down to know why.

Talking to the entertainment portal, Shahid said, “One day, I remember I was shooting, shaadi ka sequence tha, mai shaadi ke kapde pehen ke baitha tha aur Sooraj ji meri van me aaye (It was a wedding sequence, I was in wedding clothes and Sooraj ji came to my van). We had shot 8-10 days of the film, and I told him, ‘Do you want to change me?’ So he said, ‘What happened?’ I said, ‘See, in one month, 3 flops, nobody has seen.. obviously people don’t like me. Because this is with all the other actors who are all superstars and they’re doing really well, I was the reason why they didn’t want to see this film.’ And he just kept looking at me. I’m sure he must have thought in his head, ‘Yeh mera hero hai, iska hi state of mind itna kharab hai toh mai picture kaise acchi banaunga? (He’s my hero, and if his state of mind is like that, how will I make a good film?’

He also mentioned Sooraj Barjatya’s reply. “Then he looked straight in my eyes and said, ‘Do you know what to do between action and cut? Do you know how to do your job as an actor?’ I said, ‘I do.’ He said, ‘That’s it, just focus on that. Everything else will come and go.’ Since then, that’s what I do. I just focus on my job; success and failure come and go. I know my job; you know your job; you will survive.”

On the work front, Shahid Kapoor will be next seen with Kriti Sanon in an untitled romantic drama. The film is slated to release on February 9. 2024.
