Shahid Kapoor Says He Doesn’t Want To Do “Trash” Projects In Hollywood
Shahid Kapoor recently shared his thoughts on venturing into Hollywood during the promotions of his new Hindi movie ‘Bloody Daddy’.
Just like Bollywood's king Shah Rukh Khan, Shahid Kapoor also feels comfortable working in India. While over the years, several popular Bollywood stars, including the late Irrfan Khan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Priyanka Chopra, Deepika Padukone and Alia Bhatt have stepped into Hollywood, the ‘Jersey’ actor revealed he would prefer starring in a South Indian film than doing some “trash” project in Hollywood. Shahid Kapoor, who made his Bollywood debut with the 2003 film ‘Ishq Vishk’, spoke about venturing into Hollywood while promoting his upcoming movie ‘Bloody Daddy’.
In a new interview with News18 Showsha, Shahid Kapoor also said that if he is offered a Tamil, Telugu or Malayalam movie he will do it if it satisfies him as an actor.
Shahid Kapoor said, “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."
The Bollywood actor added, “Abhi mere ko Hollywood mein break mil gaya hai… kuch bhi kar lo… Nahi. 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."
Talking about Shahid Kapoor, he has proved his acting mettle with movies like ‘Jab We Met’, ‘Kaminey’, ‘Haider’, ‘Udta Punjab’, ‘Kabir Singh’ and ‘Jersey’ to name a few.
The Bollywood actor will be next seen in Ali Abbas Zafar's ‘Bloody Daddy’, a remake of the 2011 French film ‘Sleepless Night’.
The film also stars Ronit Roy, Sanjay Kapoor and Rajeev Khandelwal. ‘Bloody Daddy’ will release on Jio Cinema on June 9.
