Bollywood star Shahid Kapoor on Thursday said he was keen to do a love story post his 2019 blockbuster 바카라Kabir Singh바카라 but took his time to find a worthy story to tell on the big screen.
The 42-year-old actor has delivered some of the most commercially-successful romantic movies of the past two decades, starting from his debut "Ishq Vishq" to movies like "Chup Chup Ke", "Vivah", 바카라Jab We Met바카라 and 바카라Kabir Singh바카라.
Shahid's upcoming movie is romantic comedy 바카라Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya바카라, in which he is paired opposite Kriti Sanon.
"I have been missing doing something light and fun definitely but honestly it is the most difficult genre to crack. I listen to ten scripts a month. People don't know that but there is so much to hear.
"I know people tell me 바카라Aur picture karo바카라 but it is so difficult to find scripts that you feel that you are going to offer the audience something new. Love stories are the most difficult genre to do," Shahid told reporters at the film's trailer launch event here.
바카라Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya바카라, dubbed as an "impossible love story", is written and directed by first-time filmmakers Amit Joshi and Aradhana Sah.
The actor said the film is the answer to a question that he ponders about -- "What is it that you can do in a love story?"
Post his 2019 movie "Kabir Singh바카라, in which he played an aggressive lover, the actor said he was looking for something new in the romance genre.
"When I did 바카라Kabir Singh바카라, the character was new for me, the entire journey, the way the entire relationship was, it was shocking but it was new. Post that I didn't hear anything that exciting... Then this film (came) and I was like, 'This is it. We have to tell a love story that hasn't been told before.'
"Will people like it or not, will they accept it or not, that's the journey you have to take as an artist and as a creative person,바카라 he added.
바카라Kabir Singh바카라 had received polarising reviews and its director, Sandeep Reddy Vanga, was criticised for perpetuating toxic masculinity. The film, however, was a huge box office success.
Produced by Dinesh Vijan's Maddock Films, 바카라Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya바카라 features Shahid as a man who falls in love and decides to marry a robot, named Sifra (Sanon).
The actor said the film gave him a break from the intense movies that he did in the recent past. His most recent feature was Ali Abbas Zafar-directed "Bloody Daddy" and the actor also made his OTT series debut with "Farzi".
"It had been long since I'd done a film like that, I was doing slightly intense roles. What we brought to the genre was Kriti, because we haven바카라t done a movie together," he said.
바카라I feel Sifra, which is Kriti바카라s character in this film, is what바카라s new about this love story. I found it fascinating when I heard the script that somebody could come up with an idea like that in 2024," he added.
Kriti, 33, said she was keen to do a love story and is grateful to Vijan바카라s for offering her 바카라Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya바카라.
바카라It바카라s my seventh film with Maddock and what바카라s amazing is that every time I work with Maddock, there바카라s something different, which is pushing the envelope and is exciting. I바카라ve been dying to do a love story.
"We (Shahid and I) were supposed to work about eight years ago and it didn바카라t happen and I think there바카라s a right time for every time, and this film does full justice. It바카라s a quirky film, it바카라s a funny film, this robot is extremely funny, at the heart of it, it바카라s a love story," she said.
The actor previously worked with Maddock for films "Raabta", "Luka Chuppi", "Arjun Patiala", "Mimi", "Hum Do Hamare Do" and "Bhediya".
바카라Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya바카라 will also feature veteran actors Dharmendra and Dimple Kapadia in pivotal roles. The movie, produced by Vijan, Jyoti Deshpande and Laxman Utekar, is set to release in theatres on February 9.
