After having delivered two back to back solo hero hits like ‘Vivaah’ and ‘Jab We Met’, Shahid has delivered yet again with ‘Kismat Konnection’. Shahid becomes one of the select few top Bollywood heroes to have an opening at the box office. It also takes Shahid Kapoor in a different league with a wide release of prints, since only the superstars of Bollywood can command that clout. The ‘young superstar’ of Bollywood, Shahid has proved both his box office clout and his acting prowess with three back to back hits.Trade watchers are already predicting superstardom for Shahid, as they say that the time is not far when Shahid is officially acknowledged as one of the top five stars of Bollywood.
Shahid Kapoor, the young superstar is presently shooting in Pune for Vishal Bharadwaj film ‘Kaminey.. .’ he will be sporting a new look for the film.And when multi starrers are ruling the roost in Bollywood, Shahid has gone against the trend and delivered three solo hits. His forthcoming films are also solo starrers with Yashraj Films, two with UTV, Vishal Bharadwaj and Ken Ghosh, including another to be directed by his dad, Pankaj Kapoor!! With lady luck showering her affection, Shahid is enjoying every bit of his success. After all he is the only actor to have had three back-to-back solo hits.The success of ‘Kismat Konnection’ overseas too has opened a huge NRI market for Shahid. He is also referred as the new romantic icon, considering his huge fan base amongst the youth of the country. Shahid continues his solo winning trend at the box office!!!!

Well he has not taken any inspiration from his ex-girlfriend Kareena but Shahid is losing weight for his upcoming flick Kaminay that is being directed by Vishal Bharadwaj.
Shahid Kapoor is turning heads after the box office success of his movie Jab We Met, but he has failed to turn the head of Munnabhai of Bollywood, Sanjay Dutt as he has lost out on a lucrative offer of working with Dutt to Imran Khan.
Boy wonder Shaahid Kapur is smiling a lot these days. The reason, from his film Kismat Konnection’s release, is the great time he had shooting for it. Now, before you start imagining him with Vidya Balan behind the scenes, let us inform you that he’s only cherishing his experience of working with Aziz Mirza. Turns out the actor’s been mighty impressed with the senior director and breaks into an adorable smile while recollecting the latter’s reserved, simple nature.
It seems like Kareena Kapoor is still not done with ex beau Shahid Kapoor. After dumping him almost a year a go Bebo is making sure that Shahid is never cast opposite her. Director Imtiaz Ali who had Kareena and Shahid in his hit Jab We Met wanted to cast the lead pair again in his coming movie. Kareena expressed her discomfort working with Shahid and asked Imtiaz to replace him with someone else. Akshay Kumar was offered the role and he happily accepted.
Shahid Kapur holds no grudge against his ex-lover. In fact, he is even open to working with Kareena Kapoor, who broke-up with him to romance Saif Ali Khan. Anyway Shaahid had the image of a cool-headed guy and now he just seems to have proved it. At a recent interview he made his intentions clear. He said, “If I am offered a film opposite her (Kareena) and it’s an interesting project, I will be open to doing it. Beyond that it’s upon the producers and directors to decide if they want to offer us a film together.”
Bollywood starlet Bipasha Basu is known to snub the media every now and then but the latest Bips update indicates that she has started snubbing her B-town colleagues as well! Recently, Bips babe was to requested to appear as a celebrity guest for the finale of a reality show on a private channel. The actress did turn up for the shoot at Film City but when she realised that Shahid Kapur and Vidya Balan would also be featuring on the same episode of that very reality show, Bips couldn’t gulp it and left the venue in a jiffy, refusing to shoot for the episode.
His role as Aditya Kashyap in Jab We Met is still fresh in public memory, but now returns to try his luck with his new film Kismet Konnection opposite Vidya Balan.
Actor Shah Rukh Khan with his killer makeover and the raunchy masculine look might have inspired the B-town to hop on the six pack abs brigade but looks ike the change in his image hasn’t gone down so well with King Khan’s loyalist director Aziz Mirza who feels that SRK looks too old to play the lead in his movies anymore.
