Shahid Kapoor laments that Bollywood applies the yardstick of film’s success at box office results to consider one as a good actor.
Shahid, who is striving for a big hit, has so far managed to deliver only three – ‘Ishq Vishk’ (2003), ‘Vivah’ (2006), ‘Jab We Met’ (2007) –
in his career of 20 films spanning ten years.
“I agree when others say I am underrated as an actor… When you give super-hit films then only you are considered as a good actor. At least that is how it is there in our industry. I think you need to be successful to be appreciated,” Shahid says.
Shahid said he wanted to be successful and expressed that everyone should succeed.
Besides, ‘R…Rajkumar’, Shahid has under his belt Vishal Bharadwaj’s ‘Haider’, and is pinning hopes on them.
“I am tired of hearing that the film is not good but you did a good job. I am hoping for little luck so that my films do really well,” he said.
