BOLLYWOOD Shahid Kapoor reveals if he wants a Hollywood career
Shahid Kapoor doesn't want to make "trash" in Hollywood just for the sake of boosting his profile.
Shahid Kapoor doesn't want to make "trash" in Hollywood.
The 'Bloody Daddy' actor made his Bollywood debut with 'Ishq Vishk' in 2003 and is very comfortable with where his career is at now because he is more interested in what "satisfies" him as an actor than trying to pursue a higher profile.
He told News18 Showsha: “I have worked here for 20 years so I love my fraternity and I love our films. I feel very comfortable here. Having said that, I’m here to do good work.
"So on one hand you’re saying Hollywood, I’ll say the reverse thing… If somebody offers me a Tamil, Telugu or Malayalam movie and if I feel there’s a great role to do and it will satisfy me as an actor, I’ll go do that... If you are chasing performance and calibre, I wouldn’t want to go to Hollywood and do some trash. That’s not what I would want to do."
Shahid, 42, has only worked on Hindi language movies and acknowledged that some Bollywood stars find the transition to working English easier than others.
He added: "There has to be a certain feeling from inside. You should feel inspired, excited and challenged to do something then language should not be a barrier.
"But language is a genuine thing. Some people are good at making a transition but some people are not. It’s not easy to do that…If I get an opportunity, I’d go anywhere. Just give me something exciting. I just did 'OTT'. I don’t care."
