Pankaj Kapur heaps praises on son Shahid Kapoor

Shahid Kapoor is undoubtedly one of the best actors in Bollywood. Ever since making his silver screen debut with superhit college-caper Ishq Vishk in 2003, he has starred in a number of successful movies and explored multiple genres, be it drama, action, romance or comedy.

Though Shahid has been working as an actor in the industry for close to one and a half decade now, it was the year 2019 when he delivered the most successful film of his career with Cine1 Studios and T-Series Films’ Kabir Singh alongside Kiara Advani. Made on a moderate budget, the movie went on to smash several box-office records and raked in an impressive Rs. 278.24 crores as its lifetime collection.


His success and film choices have really impressed his father Pankaj Kapur. During a recent interview, Kapur opened up on Shahid Kapoor and called his son wiser than him. “My son has been wiser than me in terms of his career graph. He saw to it that he became a star first and start to get all the roles that he wanted to do. I think it was a smarter move.”

Kapur went on to proclaim that his son is his own generation’s one of the best actors. “But I must also say, not because I am an indulgent father but he is his own generation’s one of the best actors and he has proved it with films like Haider (2014), Kabir Singh (2019) and Padmaavat (2018).”

Meanwhile, Shahid Kapoor is presently busy preparing for his next film which is an official remake of Telugu blockbuster Jersey (2019). The film stars the actor in the role of a cricketer and hence, he is sweating it out on the field these days. The untitled film will be directed by Gowtam Tinnanauri who also helmed the original. The movie will hit the marquee on August 2020.
