Shahid
Kapoor
may
be
the
most
non-controversial
around,
but
his
name
has
been
dragged
in
several
controversies
of
late.
To
start
with,
Rajkumar
Santoshi
had
approached
Shahid
for
his
new
film,
but
after
Halla
Bol
flopped,
Shahid
decided
against
working
with
Santoshi.
So
much
so
that
he
refused
to
entertain
Santoshi's
calls.
Fed
up,
Santoshi
signed
Ranbir
Kapoor
for
the
film
in
question.
"It's
very
embarrassing
to
hear
something
like
this.
The
reason
why
this
project
didn't
work
was
because
portions
of
the
script
were
similar
to
Jab
We
Met.
We
parted
on
an
amicable
note.
I've
great
regards
for
Raj-ji
and
I
would
never
ever
avoid
his
calls," Shahid
clarifies.
Now
Controversy
No.
2.
With
Priyadarshan,
it's
a
different
story.
During
the
making
of
Chup
Chup
Ke,
Priyan
got
a
shock
of
his
life
when
Shahid
suggested
that
a
particular
scene
be
shot
differently.
Reportedly,
Priyan
told
Shahid
to
mind
his
business.
"Priyan-ji
is
a
veteran,
how
could
I
tell
him
how
to
shoot
a
film?
But,
yes,
we
didn't
hit
off
during
the
making
of
that
film.
I
was
uncomfortable...
but
I'd
like
to
work
with
him
again
if
he
feels
he
has
the
right
script
for
me," Shahid
states.
Controversy
No.
3
pertains
to
Abbas-Mustan.
Shahid
has
worked
with
the
director
duo
in
36
China
Town
and
when
they
approached
him
for
one
of
their
productions,
Shahid
remained
inaccessible.
"We
haven't
discussed
a
film
since
quite
some
time.
I
would
love
to
work
with
them,
they're
amongst
my
favourites.
But,
believe
me,
they
haven't
approached
me
for
any
of
their
films,"
Shahid
clarifies.
And
finally,
Ashutosh
Gowariker.
Reportedly,
Shahid
made
the
maker
wait
endlessly.
An
irritated
Ashu
eventually
signed
Harman
Baweja.
"Yes,
we
did
meet,
but
he
wanted
immediate
dates
and
since
I
had
committed
those
days
to
Vishal
Bhardwaj,
I
couldn't
take
up
the
offer.
I'd
love
to
work
with
him,
I
love
his
cinema,"
Shahid
replies.
The
clarification
--
the
first
of
its
kind
from
Shahid.
This
exclusive
report
should
put
an
end
to
the
loose
talk
surrounding
the
actor.
