I interview stars on a daily basis. Due to professional requirements, the frequency has risen by manifolds in the last few months. I try and retain high energy in all the interactions but there are a few celebrities I look forward to interviewing the most. Shahid Kapoor is one of them. We chatted for half an hour yesterday and this is by far the most comprehensive interview that I've done with SK till now. Comprehensive, because, I tried raising subjects that we had not discussed before.
Shahid spoke on Mausam, sang 'Rabba' and also clarified on the reports of the film going over budget and whether he sat on the edit of the film. He says Mausam, in all probability will be his biggest release ever. The producers are looking at 2000-2200 screens worldwide. Yes its going to have a release in all the key overseas sectors like Germany, Australia etc and even at places like Austria.
Kapoor also spoke on his secular credentials, something that comes naturally to him since his dad is a Hindu and mom is a Muslim. He spoke about his idea of being an Indian and what he feels about it in his own way. I've had many interactions with Shahid's fans over the last two years. I remember once I discussed with two of his fans simultaneously on twitter, why they were, at times, dissatisfied with Shahid's choice of scripts. We discussed that in this interview. So, what's the dope on Kunal Kohli's film, whats the status quo on Heer Ranjha and what about Kaminey 2? Well, if you want to know all this, you gotta watch the interview which is coming in two parts. When is it coming? How about some mystery? :) Would you guys like to see a teaser of this interview? Trust me, it'll be fun 60 sec trip :)
Yes, I've taken a few fan questions and wishes but I've tried to take those who haven't yet been part of the earlier interviews. Yes, Komal187, I got your email and yes your questions would have been fun, as they always are, had you sent it in time. Some other time.
Bye for now...till later...
Take care and All The Best!
Wow, I'll be especially looking forward to this interview. Looks like you got him to spill so many details. Also, I'm glad you enquired about the script choices. You truly are the voice of us, fans. :)
ReplyDeleteThe headline is intruiging me. Kaminey 2 has been a rumour for quite a while and I'm really anticipating to hear his response. Kaminey 2 in making would be fantastic! One can dream. :)
And, and, and you got him SING! I'm extra chirpy to hear that. Hehe. WOOOOHOOOO.
Impatience has always been an attribute of mine. Sigh. Can't wait! Teaser, please? :D
Do you even have to ask us if we want a teaser? Of course we don't, we want the whole interview right now! LOL
ReplyDeleteYes, pretty please, give us a teaser. :)
Being from Austria, "even at places like Austria" cracked me up. :D I'm looking forward to my twitter friends from Germany coming here and us watching Mausam together - it's be a big #Shanatic party!
Thank you for always including fans in your interviews, we appreciate it tremendously.
XOXO,
Calena
