Shahid
Kapoor
made
a
dashing
entry
in
Bollywood
as
a
chocolate-boy
hero
in
Ken
Ghosh's
campus
romance,
Ishq
Vishq
in
2003.
In
a
career
spanning
over
a
decade
and
a
half,
the
actor
have
had
a
string
of
hits
and
misses
where
he
dabbled
with
different
genres;
some
hit
the
bull's
eye,
some
didn't.
However
last
year,
Shahid
delivered
the
biggest
blockbuster
of
his
career-
Sandeep
Vanga
Reddy's
Kabir
Singh.
The
film
was
a
remake
of
Vijay
Deverakonda's
Telugu
smashing
hit,
Arjun
Reddy.
Just
like
its
Telugu
counterpart,
Kabir
Singh
minted
gold
at
the
box
office.
At
the
same
time,
it
also
became
a
talking
point
for
its
controversial
content.
Nevertheless,
the
film
turned
out
to
be
a
turning
point
in
Shahid's
career.
Riding
high
on
the
film's
success,
the
handsome
star
immediately
gave
his
nod
to
one
more
south
remake-
Nani's
Jersey.
While
this
film's
fate
is
yet
to
be
decided
at
the
box
office,
it
looks
like
Shahid
is
a
current
hot
favourite
for
filmmakers
when
it
comes
to
South
remakes.
Since
South
remakes
continue
to
be
a
growing
trend
in
Bollywood,
we
bring
you
some
films
where
Shahid
fits
like
a
glove
if
they
are
ever
remade
in
Bollywood.
Don't
miss
this
special
birthday
feature
on
the
dashing
star
who
turns
39
today.
Dear
Comrade
Karan
Johar
had
announced
a
Hindi
remake
of
this
Vijay
Deverakonda
starrer
last
year.
While
there
were
strong
rumours
about
KJo
approaching
Sasha
for
this
film,
there
hasn't
been
any
latest
official
development
on
it
yet.
It
would
be
quite
interesting
to
watch
the
star
pull
off
the
character
arc
of
the
male
protagonist.
Kaththi
Amidst
rumours
of
Akshay
Kumar
reprising
Vijay's
role
in
the
Hindi
remake
tentatively
titled
as
Ikka,
Shahid
Kapoor
could
convincingly
play
the
dual
role
in
this
Tamil
blockbuster
which
revolved
around
the
topic
of
plight
of
farmers
who
suffer
due
to
corporate
companies
encroaching
upon
their
land.
Asuran
When
it
comes
to
portraying
gritty
characters,
Shahid
knows
how
to
hit
the
ball
straight
out
of
the
park
for
a
sixer.
Dhanush
delivered
a
noteworthy
performance
in
the
original
film
and
we
feel
the
Kabir
Singh
actor
would
bring
in
his
own
nuance
to
this
rustic
character.
Bharat
Aane
Nenu
Shahid
Kapoor
has
never
dabbled
with
the
genre
of
political
thriller
and
it
would
be
intriguing
to
watch
what
the
actor
has
up
his
sleeve
when
he
ever
steps
into
Mahesh
Babu's
shoes.
Pyscho
Shahid
Kapoor
has
never
shied
away
from
stepping
out
of
his
comfort
zone
to
take
up
challenging
roles.
While
the
actor
is
yet
to
take
up
an
out-and-out
negative
character,
director
Mysskin's
recently-released,
Psycho
could
be
a
perfect
chance
for
the
actor
to
channel
his
inner
dark
side.
