Shahid Kapoor On His Experience Post Kabir Singh Release: I Went Like A Beggar To Everybody

Shahid
Kapoor’s

Kabir
Singh,
a
remake
of
Vijay
Deverakonda-starrer

Arjun
Reddy,
was
one
of
the
biggest
blockbusters
of
2019.
The
film
was
a
huge
hit
with
the
masses
and
has
collected
more
than
Rs
250
crore
at
the
domestic
box
office.
Two
years
later,
the
actor
is
back
with
another
remake,

Jersey.

At
the
trailer
launch
of
his
new
movie,
Shahid
said
that
Kabir
Singh
was
an
important
milestone
in
his
life,
the
experience
was
new
for
him
as
as
he
had
never
been
a
part
of
Rs
200-250
crore
films.

The
actor
said,
“After

Kabir
Singh
released,
I
went
like
a
beggar
to
everybody.
I
went
to
all
these
people
who’ve
made
these
200-250
crore
films.
I’ve
never
been
a
part
of
this
club,
so
it
was
completely
new
to
me.
Having
spent
15-16
years
in
the
industry,
I
never
had
such
a
huge
grosser.
So,
when
it
finally
happened,
I
didn’t
know
where
to
go,
it
was
all
new
to
me.”

Shahid
Kapoor-Starrer
Jersey
Trailer
Makes
Loud
Noise
On
Twitter

Speaking
about
why
he
took
up

Jersey,
Shahid
recalled
crying
buckets
after
watching
the
original
film
which
starred
Nani
as
the
male
lead.

“I
have
been
working
for
18
years
and
finally
a
film
of
mine
did
such
big
business.
I
was
very
uncomfortable
thinking
about
what
should
I
do
next
after

Kabir
Singh.
Some
asked
me
to
play
college
boy,
some
asked
me
to
play
an
aggressive
character
again.
I
heard
this
story
and
it
stayed
with
me.
I
saw
this
film
2
weeks
before

Kabir
Singh
was
released
and
I
cried
buckets.
I
saw
it
with
Mira
and
my
manager
and
they
were
both
looking
at
me,” Shahid
shared
at
the
trailer
launch.

Is
Katrina
Kaif
A
Part
Of
Ali
Abbas
Zafar’s
Next
Starring
Shahid
Kapoor?

He
continued
“You
could
say,
I
tried
my
best
not
to
do
this
(Jersey,
which
he
was
offered
before
doing
Kabir
Singh).
So,
credit
to
Gowtam
(Gowtam
Tinnanuri,
the
director)
for
still
working
with
me,
waiting
for
me,
and
I’m
so
happy
I
did
this.
I
can
safely
say
this
is
my
best
film
yet.”

Gautam
too
was
all
praise
for
Shahid
and
said,
“The
best
thing
I’ve
done
in
my
career
till
now
is
working
with
Shahid
Kapoor.
And
even
after
the
massive
success
of

Kabir
Singh,
he
didn’t
change
a
bit,
was
totally
into
the
story
and
character,
and
was
amazing
to
work
with.”

Jersey
revolves
around
a
retired
cricketer
who
hopes
to
fulfill
his
son’s
dream
of
buying
him
a
jersey.
The
film
also
stars
Mrunal
Thakur,
is
slated
to
release
on
December
31,
2021.
