There
are
two
kinds
of
opinion
in
the
film
industry
about
Shahid
Kapoor.
Some
tag
him
as
one
of
the
best
star-actors
in
the
post-Aamir
Khan
generation
while
others
think
he
has
screwed
it
up
with
his
attitude
-
but
no
one
disputes
Shahid's
talent.
Rajkumar
Santoshi's
latest
film
Phata
Poster
Nikla
Hero
is
the
first
film
Shahid
signed
without
demanding
a
full
script.
He
next
goes
into
Prabhudheva's
Rambo
Rajkumar,
in
which
he
needs
to
completely
re-define
his
physique
and
body
language
to
do
his
first
full-fledged
action
role.
Both
Santoshi
and
Prabhu
swear
by
Shahid's
versatility
and
want
to
work
with
him
again.
Santoshi
said,
"I
always
knew
Shahid
was
extremely
talented.
Now
when
I've
worked
with
him,
I
am
amazed
at
how
versatile
he
really
is.
In
my
film,
he
has
to
portray
both
dark
and
light
shades.
He
handles
both
the
comic
and
dramatic
scenes
with
equal
ease.
His
mother-son
scenes
with
Padmini
Kolhapure
brought
tears
to
my
eyes.
And
he
is
so
hands-on
on
the
sets,
it's
a
delight
to
work
with
an
actor
so
focused
on
his
work.
I
am
definitely
working
with
Shahid
again."
Prabhu
Deva
feels
there
is
a
terrific
action
star
hidden
in
Shahid
who
has
given
big
hits
like
Jab
We
Met,
but
his
last
films
Mausam
and
Teri
Meri
Kahaani
didn't
live
up
to
people's
expectations.
"We
are
starting
the
film
in
Gujarat
on
March
1
with
a
song.
I
like
to
begin
shooting
with
a
song.
It
makes
the
entire
team
happy
and
light-hearted," said
Prabhu
Deva,
who
is
known
for
directing
hits
like
Wanted
and
Rowdy
Rathore.
A
great
dancer
himself,
he
praises
Shahid's
"amazing"
dancing
skills
and
added,
"We
will
try
to
tap
the
action
side
of
his
personality
in
Rambo
Rajkumar.
The
script
is
very
much
in
the
Rowdy
Rathore
space.
But
this
time
there
is
also
a
realistic
flavour
to
the
action.
So
the
fights
would
be
raw
and
real."
Bejoy
Nambiar
has
reportedly
cast
Shahid
as
a
psychologically
disturbed
character
in
his
next.
"I
really
like
Shahid
as
an
actor.
Kaminey
blew
my
mind.
Actually,
so
did
bits
of
Fida.
I
feel
he's
very
versatile
though
he's
known
mainly
for
his
romantic
roles.
I
feel
there
is
a
lot
more
potential
in
there,"
said
Nambiar
who
directed
David
and
Shaitan.
