Shahid Kapoor is back in the Yash Raj clan. He was earlier seen in films such as Badmaash Company which did average business and the flop Dil Bole Hadippa! for the leading banner in B-town. With the script being finalised, Shahid has been given the role already.
However, he has been given the choice of the director and he is considering various options including his daddy dear Pankaj Kapur, who is currently helming his film Mausam. The final scripting will only be completed when the director will be chosen for the project.

Flops made Shahid choosy
After having seen duds back to back Shahid Kapoor is little picky about not only his films but also the directors. He has lately refused to do Shaad Ali’s film. Ali too has seen a flop with Jhoom Barabar Jhoom in past but has given hits like Saathiya and Bunty Aur Bubly to the Yash Raj Films banner.
Later he had gone back to assisting his mentor Mani Ratnam for Raavan. Unfortunately, after the latest failure followed with Raavan’s failure has shaken the actors’ faith in the director and so when he is looking forward to cast stars in his upcoming Yash Raj banner film, he is facing trouble.
The film is actually a three hero project made under Yashraj banner. When Shaad approached Shahid for one of the roles, the actor did not show any interest in doing the film and didn’t even revert back. Shaad is hurt and is launching three new faces in the film.

Shahid shines again with 'Badmaash Company'
After three back-to-back duds "Dil Bole Hadippa!", "Chance Pe Dance" and "Paathshala", actor Shahid Kapoor has risen again with his latest outing "Badmaash Company" that has got a decent opening at the box office.
"The initial weekend collection has been anywhere around 60-70 percent all over India," trade analyst Atul Mohan told IANS.
"The movie has made somewhere around Rs.30-35 crore gross in the first three days," an industry source said.
Amit Awasthi, manager (programming and operations) of Spice Cinemas, said: "'Badmaash Company' has been above average and done good over the first weekend. It brought us around 72 percent occupancy for 20 shows and an initial weekend gross of Rs.14 lakh. Though contentwise people are neutral about it."
"We are expecting it to stretch for another weekend as there are no as such any big releases this Friday."
Produced and distributed by Yash Raj Films, "Badmaash Company" is actor Parmeet Sethi's directorial debut. Starring Shahid Kapoor in the lead, it also has Anushka Sharma, comedian Vir Das and reality show star Meiang Chang.
Set in the Bombay of 1990s, the movie is about four youngsters who come together to start a business and con people to make their way.

Shahid returns as conman in `Badmaash Company`
emember Shahid Kapoor doing con jobs in Vishal Bhardwaj`s hit `Kaminey`? The actor does the same, but in a more sophisticated avatar, in `Badmaash Company` releasing Friday. Produced and distributed by Yash Raj Films, the movie is actor Parmeet Sethi`s directorial debut. Shahid has teamed up with Anushka Sharma in the film that also stars comedian Vir Das and reality show star Chang.
Describing the film, Shahid said: "There are very interesting characters, extremely fresh dialogues, con jobs which I have not seen in any other film, but yet very easy to understand. It`s not complicated at all. It`s a very fun film and there was no reason why I shouldn`t be doing it."
Set in the Bombay of 1990s, `Badmaash Company` is about four youngsters who come together to start a business.
What makes their venture a stupendous success is that they find a way to beat the system and soon become the undisputed kings in their business. Living the life of champagne wishes and caviar dreams, the four realise that to make a business successful they don`t need big money but a big idea.
With their larger than life schemes, Karan, Bulbul, Zing and Chandu go on a wild roller-coaster ride into the world of sheer glitz and glamour where the stakes are high and risks even higher. They succeed in making quick money by doing all the wrong things... but the right way.
All is hunky dory till the four entrepreneurs are forced to shut shop. They come up with yet another perfect plan to beat the system for the last time.
Shahid said a lot of research went into their looks as the film is set in the 1990s.
"We spent a lot of time deciding the look and styling of the film. We wanted it to represent the 1990s correctly but at the same time we did not want it to look boring," he said.
"We researched on the scenario of the 1990s and used them in the film. For example, we used clothes that were in fashion like high waisted jeans, simple t-shirts which used to be tucked in, the aviators, which were all in vogue.
"Also the calculator watch that was very much in fashion at that time has been used in the movie. The film starts in 1994 and goes on for five years," he explained.
The songs of the movie have already become a hit.

Shahid Speaks on Badmaash Company
And there he walks in with a huge smile. In his trademark blue denims and a blue printed tee, Shahid looked like one naughty kid entering a press conference. Now a man, and a bad one too (looking by his released films titled Kaminey and Badmaash Company), Kapoor is seen deeply sucked into the world of films. He has slight stubble which he confessed he has grown for one of the many look tests he is undergoing for his father's directorial debut Mausam. He walks a few strides and then turns the chair around and sits with his legs widely stretched. That's comfort for Shahid. He has no regrets and has left his inhibitions in the bin. That's why you see him more relaxed today. He again breaks into laughter on the few questions being asked, then orders for some water, and as he is about to answer one of the any questions thrown to him, his father calls him on his mobile. Unlike other heroes, he picks the call up. Then you look at the journalists and they are fine with it. They are fine with the fact that they treat Shahid as one of them - street smart, wicked (sometimes), witty, mad and upfront. Today, as I see him sitting at an arm's distance, I notice a different Shahid. I notice that he hasn't changed. UK's Harrow Observer columnist and Bollywood Hungama's London correspondent meets the man who dictates his own rules, creates his own rules and breaks his own - the sweet 'kamina' and an even sweeter 'badmaash' Shahid Kapoor. It's con-fession time!
Kaminey and Badmaash Company. You've got a lot of bad names man!
(Laughs) I don't know. Maybe my directors see a lot of 'kaminapan' and 'badmaashi' inside me. I'm happy and it's fun playing a bad guy. I've not done it for many years since I began my career. Now I'm getting all bad guys roles because of Kaminey. Badmaash is a little less of a bad guy than a kamina (laughs). Kaminey's role was a lot more physical and quick. Badmaash Company sees me as more of a thinker.
Which means that you haven't played a role like Badmaash?
Yes. I haven't played a role like this before, of a scammer and of a con artist. It's a genre that I really get excited about. Con films are rarely seen in Bollywood. I think films like Bunty Aur Babli was restricted in its conning. It was more of a small time con guys. Badmaash Company is a lot more believable.
How do con artists make money?
Con artists don't make money through conning people. They make money because their ideas are bigger than their pockets. That's why the line in the film goes - 'Any business grows not because of the power of money, but because of a bigger idea' which I believe in. Their big idea happens to be a scam and they pull it off. They believe that they are getting success through conning people and don't mind pursuing it as their business. There is a reason why they do that. They want to break out of their normal life. A life of 9 to 6 jobs and all. They are young, enthusiastic and that's why they want to do something unpredictable.
What was your interaction with Parmeet after you read the script?
I think Parmeet Sethi is a dangerous guy. He is a big con man. Watch out for him. But when I spoke to him after reading the script, he told me that all these con jobs were picked up from newspapers. He has taken the basic thought of every con job from a real incident and that's why it is the biggest strength of our film as it looks believable. Plus, the film is also based in the mid nineties.
What about the nineties?
We used to get it the easy way. I mean, the whole customs act wasn't introduced back then. Everything was sold in 'black money'. So that time was very apt for this kind of a plot. System wasn't well defined. It's a lot more logical. We shot at the Hyderabad airport only to show that the Mumbai airport looked like this in the nineties.
So, you call yourself 'lucky'?
A con job film based in the nineties, a youth oriented film, and I'm working for the first time with three new people. When I read the script, I found that it was innovative. I hadn't come across characters like these, and con jobs like these. That's when I decided that I wanted to be a part Badmaash Company. I've been really lucky in the last three years to have got one significant film each year.
How difficult is it shifting gears from Guddu to Charlie to Karan in Badmaash Company?
It's great fun. I don't want to play Shahid in different costumes. I hope I can break that. I want to do it once in a while. An actor can never be larger than the script. If the script provides you a base where you can attempt something new without taking it away from the subject, then one does that. I'm not established than the three Khans' nor am I as new as the new ones. I'm somewhere in between. I need to balance things here. I can't do things that are so different that people don't understand. I have left all inhibitions behind and am ready to do diverse roles in my career now. This is the time in Bollywood that anybody can make a good film, anybody can be accepted and anything can work.
If you had to choose one role from your career, which role would you pick as your favourite?
Undoubtedly Kaminey. Then I guess Mausam will follow because it is the most challenging role as of now. Even my character in Badmaash Company was difficult to portray as I age five years in the film. That's something I feel is difficult.
Do you recall any incidents from your personal life where you've conned anyone?
Yes, all the time. I used to con my mother. I played cricket for six hours everyday. I have my man 'Friday' called 'Mamu' who is with me and was with my family before I was born. Mamu and I would always strategise how we will get the money out to repair the broken windows and we were successful all the time. I am an inherent badmaash. What I can't do in real life is what I do in my films.

Shahid Kapoor on rumours surrounding 'Badmaash Company'
Shahid Kapoor is not new to controversies. In fact, every time a movie starring the talented actor is ready to unfurl, stories about Shahid having problems with the director surface first, followed by news of romantic liaisons with the film's leading lady.
In the past, it was said Shahid had serious differences with Priyadarshan [CHUP CHUP KE], Aziz Mirza [KISMAT KONNECTION], Vishal Bhardwaj [KAMINEY], Anurag Singh [DIL BOLE HADIPPA!] and Ken Ghosh [CHANCE PE DANCE]. Is he difficult to work with? "Isn't it strange that people ask this question every time my movie is complete? I am asked to clarify if the director and I see eye to eye… It amuses me no end," Shahid smiles.
Reportedly, Shahid and Parmeet Sethi, the actor who makes his directorial debut with BADMAASH COMPANY, had difference of opinion over the climax of the film. "All discussions took place while we were in the [script] reading stages. If any changes were to be made, they had to be implemented before we began filming. Yes, I did express my opinion to Adi [Chopra] and Parmeet about a certain portion in the film. They agreed because they were convinced about it. But there were no issues when we began filming," Shahid clarifies. Shahid feels that Parmeet is a supremely talented director. "I am glad I agreed to work in BADMAASH COMPANY. Parmeet is a fine storyteller. In fact, I keep wondering, why didn't he take to direction earlier? Direction is his true calling," Shahid states.
There's also talk that BADMAASH COMPANY is the newer, updated version of BUNTY AUR BABLI. True? Shahid laughs, "I've heard this one too, but I am just going to say just this. Watch BADMAASH COMPANY to know the difference. Frankly, why would anyone want to remake a successful film that's still so fresh in the minds of the audience? BADMAASH COMPANY is not similar to any film. Not BUNTY AUR BABLI for sure."

Shahid gets a naughty massage
Shahid Kapoor seems to be the luckiest when it comes to his luck with the opposite sex. Earlier, the actor has been mobbed by his female fans many a times with some of them even going to the extent of trying to striptease him.
Now, the latest incident happened during Shahid's shoot in Bangkok for his upcoming film BADMAASH COMPANY. It's learnt that Shahid Kapoor along with his co-actors went for a massage and soon discovered that it was not a regular massage that he had expected.
Soon, Shahid and his friends ran out of their massage rooms. The reason: the massage service was turning out to be naughty and the actor was really red-faced at the experience.
Not only Shahid but his co-actors too decided to run away before things could spiral into naughtier moments.

NOW Shahid does a double role for YRF
Shahid Kapoor received a lot of appreciation for his double role in Vishal Bhardwaj's Kaminey. And now the star is all set to repeat his twin impact for Yash Raj Films' yet untitled venture.
Kapoor who played the characters of identical twins Guddu and Charlie in Kaminey will be seen playing two separate characters from two different phases of life for YRF's film directed by Parmeet Sethi.
Parmeet Sethi who also happens to be YRF's favourite Archana Puran Singh's husband was a part of the extremely successful YRF film Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge.
A source from the film unit informed us, "Shahid Kapoor will be donning two different characters for YRF's next untitled venture. The backdrop of the film is very different. While one phase begins in the US the other will be based in Mumbai. Shahid has already got a new look for the film. The change in his character will be visible in his styling and behaviour. Shahid has been paired opposite the Rab Ne... girl Anushka Sharma."
The unit recently shot for a month in Philadelphia and have now returned to Mumbai. After finishing the Mumbai schedule, the team will move to Bangkok for a brief schedule. Shahid and Anushka have already shot for several portions of the film in Mumbai including a pub scene at a popular nightspot in the city.

The curious case of Shahid Kapoor- Ages from 28 to 22!
Don’t get confused as we are talking of Shahid’s upcoming flick with Yash Raj Films, where he is supposed to look much younger than his age. For this, the handsome lad has worked equally hard and has gained the perfect look that was demanded of him.In Kaminey he has build a well-toned body and dons a macho man look. On the other hand, in his next flick with Yash Raj and Anushka Sharma, the actor has slimmed down and is looking very young.
“I work according to my scripts and the character that I am portraying. In Kaminey I needed a good physique for which I have worked for almost a year and sacrifice on my liking of food. Where as, in my next film with Anushka, I need to look much younger so I have done sacrifices over there too,” rues the young lad.
Elaborating on adapting himself according to the script, the actor chirps, “You can find good directors, producers and actors but not a good script. And if my script demands me to change, then I would do so gladly.”
“For this new look I had to cut down on my muscular body and get a thin shape, which I have attained. I also liked my look for this film and am ready to take all kinds of challenge. Even if my next venture demands me to go out of the way for physical or mental challenge I would go ahead with it,” he concludes.
Well definitely we can say for Shahid ki success ke liye kuch bhi karega.

A source from from the Yash Raj banner clarified, "Shahid has been paired with Rani Mukherjee. Sherlyn is just making a brief appearance in the film.
