Shahid Kapoor turns 34 on Wednesday. Born to actor-filmmaker Pankaj Kapur and Neelima Azim, Shahid, who is said to have dated Kareena Kapoor, Vidya Balan and Priyanka Chopra, is now a single man.

It’s a special day for Bollywood’s chocolate boy Shahid Kapoor as the actor is celebrating his Birthday today. The actor turns 33 and gave a kick-start to his Birthday last night by throwing a party at his Juhu residence in Mumbai.

As the clock stroke 12, the party began for the actor. Shahid started his birthday bash with his close friends from the Bollywood industry as well as with his sibling.

Shahid Kapoor’s brother Isshan Khattar attended the birthday bash with his friend Ayesha Kapur. Ayesha Kapur is the actress known for her best performance as young Michelle McNally in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Black. ‘Queen‘ director Vikas Bahl was among other popular B-Town friend who attended the party.

  

Others who attended the party were producer Madhu Matena, fashion designer Masaba Gupta and several others too. Producer Madhu Matena and Masaba Gupta attended the party together and were also seen leaving the venue together.

Let’s not take the limelight off from the charming Birthday boy Shahid Kapoor. He was dressed in black with a huge smile while posing for the shutterbugs.

Shahid Kapoor already had a great start this year by winning the best actor award for his film Haider, which was super successful film of 2014. He is all set for his upcoming movie Shandaar with Alia Bhatt which is directed by Vikas Bahl.

We wish Shahid Kapoor a very Happy Birthday and a wonderful year ahead.

Like seriously? Yes! Now that’s what we got to hear from the inside hush!

According to a leading daily, though Shahid and Priyanka walked in separately at the red carpet but as soon as they were inside the venue, there was nothing that could intervene their loving camaraderie. The Kaimey co-stars sat close throughout the evening and were no less than being back as a pair. In fact, when Shahid bagged the ‘Best Actor’ award, PC couldn’t resist the joy and instantly gave a peck on his cheek. Now isn’t that some BIG news? That’s not all! Funny man Kapil Sharma was playing the host that evening. So later, when Shahid stepped on stage to give away an award for one of the categories, the Haider actor teased Kapil saying, “I was sitting between ‘hot’ Tabu and Shraddha Kapoor and now I’m here.”  Tabu missed this joke as she was on call during this gig. But strangely, PC too was on a call around the same time as she posed for the cameras! For the obvious, Kapil didn’t spare this exciting sight and quipped, “Aapki wali ne bhi phone utha liya hai.”

Well, with so many evidences falling under one roof, there’s definitely  something brewing between Shahid and Priyanka. Maybe a patch up on the cards? Our guess is as good as yours! So what do you think about this? Post your thoughts in the comments section below.

Shahid Kapoor Gets Inspiration From Ranbir Kapoor And Farhan Akhtar

 Shahid Kapoor Gets Inspiration From Ranbir Kapoor And Farhan Akhtar


Bollywood heartthrob Shahid Kapoor who was last seen in ‘Haider’,  which happens to be one of the biggest hits of the year, in an interview to a leading tabloid stated that there are couple of actors from our industry who inspired him a lot by their powerful performances in their respective films.

Shahid said, "It has been four-five years since I got that recognition. I need to thank a lot of people, especially those whose performances inspired me. Ranbir Kapoor was ­fabulous in ‘Barfi!’, and when I saw ‘Bhaag Milkha Bhaag’ , I thought Farhan Akhtar has really established himself as an actor. At an awards show, I just stood looking at him, thinking that acting is more about your choices than your ­talent."

Currently, Shahid  happens to be all busy shooting for Vikas Bahl’s ‘shaandar’ opposite Alia Bhatt.

Hope Vishal makes all his films with me: Shahid Kapoor

 After a string of unsuccessful films, the acclaim that actor Shahid Kapoor got for Vishal Bhardwaj’s Haider has upped his game. It has been four-five years since I got that recognition. I need to thank a lot of people, especially those whose performances inspired me. Ranbir (Kapoor) was ­fabulous in Barfi! (2012), and when I saw Bhaag Milkha Bhaag (2013), I thought Farhan (Akhtar) has really established himself as an actor. At an awards show, I just stood looking at him, thinking that acting is more about your choices than your ­talent," says Shahid.

Having worked with Vishal on Kaminey (2008) before Haider, he admits that the filmmaker is possibly the only one who brings out the best in him. "I’ve an amazing bond with Vishal, and I hope he makes all his films with me. But, I also think every actor should get a chance  to work with him."

Why is Shahid Kapoor hiding his face?

 Why is Shahid Kapoor hiding his face?


Shahid Kapoor tends to dazzle people with his smile every time he steps out however on this instance he was captured in a very different avatar. On a recent outing actor Shahid Kapoor was spotted covering his face with a printed smuff.

The actor who is busy shooting for Shaandaar which also stars Alia Bhatt was seen hiding his face as he stepped out.


Apparently Kapoor was hiding the new look for his latest project in which he plays a wedding planner. These days a trend has set in wherein actors go to extreme lengths to cover their look like it is impossible to spot Ranveer Singh without a hat these days.

Maybe Shahid is following the cue by being extra cautious about not revealing his face. We wonder if we are in for a big reveal of sorts?

 Shahid Kapoor is super-excited about ‘Shaandaar’ title track


If there’s one thing that Bollywood actor Shahid Kapoor lives for apart form acting, it has got to be dance.

The heartthrob has had his hands full with shooting for upcoming film, ‘Shaandaar’ along with Alia Bhatt and father Pankaj Kapur. But more than the film itself, Shahid Kapoor seems to be excited about the film’s title track, which is choreographed by none other than Bosco-Ceasar.

Shahid also shared pictures of the dance rehearsals on Instagram.

Dressed in shorts, sneakers and a fedora, the actor is seen taking a selfie in front of the mirror.

It’s no secret that dance holds a very special place in Shahid’s heart. The Kapoor lad made his entry into the film industry as a background dancer, part of Shiamak Davar’s dance academy. His younger brother Ishaan is also said to have followed in his big brother’s footsteps.

Directed by Vishal Bahl, ‘Shaandaar’ is a destination wedding film and expectations from the lead couple are sky high. And of course, we simply cannot wait to see Shahid’s killer moves onscreen. Could the title track be the next party anthem?

 Alia Bhatt talks about working with Shahid Kapoor and Ranbir Kapoor next

Having worked with most of the A-listers from her generation of actors including Sidharth Malhotra, Varun Dhawan, Arjun Kapoor… Alia Bhatt has now moved on to the next generation of actors. In her next two releases to be directed by Vikas Bahl and Ayan Mukerji, Alia is paired with Shahid Kapoor and Ranbir Kapoor, respectively.

Though she is tight-lipped about the project with Sushant Singh Rajput to be directed by Homi Adjania, Alia Bhatt happily admits to being part of Ayan Mukerji’s next film starring his best friend Ranbir Kapoor who has featured in both the directors’ films (Wake Up, Sid and Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani) so far.

Says Alia Bhatt, “I had three releases in 2014 and I’m shooting for one film ‘Shandaar’. Besides this, the only project I am officially part of is the film directed by Ayan Mukerji with Ranbir Kapoor in the lead.”

Alia is looking forward to working with Ranbir Kapoor who had wonderful things to say about her after Imtiaz Ali’s ‘Highway’.

Hopefully she will be working with the Khan generation of superstars soon. “I hope so,” Alia Bhatt laughs. “I want to work with all of them. It is very important to be seen with different co-stars. I’ve so far worked with actors my own age. So there was a natural comfort level with them. But it’s not like Shahid is any different from Varun Dhawan, Arjun Kapoor or Sidharth Malhotra.”

Alia is all praise for Shahid Kapoor with whom she shot in Leeds for ‘Shandaar’, “He is a very chilled-out guy. He has been around for so many years. He’s a thorough professional. I really enjoyed working with him.”

 Shaandaar' shoot wrapped up, Shahid Kapoor heads home!

Shahid Kapoor starrer 'Haider' box office collections at Rs 19.45 cr

 Shahid Kapoor starrer 'Haider' box office collections at Rs 19.45 cr; row boost fails


Shahid Kapoor starrer 'Haider' box office collections are refusing to climb over the self-imposed Rs 7-cr barrier on a daily basis. While the William Shakespeare scripted 'Hamlet' has refused to die through the centuries in the imagination of the people who love to tell and re-tell stories, going to the theatre to watch 'Haider' is at the moment not on the top-of-the-mind recall list of most movie-going people.

What is clear, is that ambition was never the top intent when the film was made as is clear from the fact that it was made on a relatively modest budget of Rs 37 cr and on top of it, it openned on a very small number of screens, just 1,250 – if you compare it to Hrithik Roshan's 'Bang Bang', then the same figures are Rs 140 cr and over 4,500 screens respectively.
Here are the daily India box office collections of 'Haider':

Day 1: Rs 6.14 cr
Day 2: Rs 6.93 cr
Day 3: Rs 6.38 cr

'Haider 'has also received a setback in terms of its worldwide box office collections as the film has not been screened in Pakistan due to a ban imposed on it for its Kashmir-centric plot.
Right now, while its India collections total Rs 19.45 cr, if you add worldwide take, then the figure climbs to Rs 21.45 cr.

This has been disappointing as the film even had a controversy going as there was a backlash which blamed the movie-makers for being anti-Muslim while others tagged it as anti-Hindu or India. But aside from the social media, that did not get much play in the mainstream media.
So, as far as 'Haider' is concerned, controversy does not always translate into collections.

Shahid Kapoor on why Indian films don’t win at the Oscars

 Shahid Kapoor on why Indian films don’t win at the Oscars

"We’re a huge industry on our own. We’re the second largest in the world, in terms of making movies. I think we focus on the audience we’re making our films for. Our sensibilities are very different from Hollywood films. That is why there are very few films that work here as well as internationally," says Shahid Kapoor.

The actor adds that people "do a film in India, thinking that it will go to the Oscars. I find it stupid. I have to do a film here for the people in India. I’m not doing my current film because it’s going to get nominated somewhere. I am doing it because I want people in this country to like it," says Shahid.

He says that often, parallel cinema hits the jackpot. "Sometimes you see a lot of films that are not considered mainstream and tend to get picked up [for the Oscars] because those film-makers don’t have worries like, ‘How will I make the people of this country like it?’ They make cheaper, smaller and tighter films, and want to experiment with the kind of audience that might like it," says the actor.

Haider Movie Music Review Rating 4 Star

 Film: Haider
Director: Vishal Bhardwaj
Music: Junglee Music
Rating: ****


Bollywood: Director-composer Vishal Bhardwaj has ingeniously infused the flavours of Kashmiri folk songs and instruments while Gulzar has brought in the nuances of Urdu into this film's soundtrack. Vishal Dadlani opens the album with the powerful guitar-driven Aao Na, which has the maker's favourite lyricist, Gulzar's expressions. 

He has used a rubab and other instruments native of Kashmir for the bouncy Bismil, where the modes and lyrics are set to a stage play. Sukhwinder Singh succeeds here as the singer, like he did in a similar song situation for Bhardwaj's Kaminey. The dark and brooding Jhelum is set to electric guitar and Gulzar's powerfully visual phrases like Jhelum hua kharaa. 

The composer himself goes behind the mike for this semi-classical one, with elan. Gulon Mein Rang Bhare is a Mehdi Hassan song that Arijit Singh has rendered with conviction, doing justice to late poet Faiz Ahmad Faiz's eternal words. The melodious Do Jahan is an old Kashmiri folk song, with additional lyrics by Gulzar. Playback singer Suresh Wadkar sounds tedious. 

Shraddha Kapoor's bits are surprisingly refreshing. The stunning Ek Aur Bismil is a reprise of Bismil, with the words and Singh's voice given a makeover that sounds Arabic. Bhardwaj has taken a refrain from Aao Na and turned it into a local worker's song So Jao, with the rustic voices of Bashir Lone, Bashir Bhawani, Muzamil Bhawani. Aaj Ke Naam is another Faiz Ahmad Faiz song brought to life by the composer's music and his wife Rekha Bhardwaj's voice.

Haider song Aao Na: Vishal Bhardwaj and Gulzar give Shahid Kapoor

 Haider song Aao Na: Vishal Bhardwaj and Gulzar give Shahid Kapoor a powerful track

The song has modern beats and is becoming quite a hit with the Hindi rock lovers in the country…
Shahid Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor starrer Haider‘s first song Aao Na‘s music video was recently released. The pulsating rock number has been penned by Gulzar, composed and crooned by Vishal Dadlani. The mood of the song has a slight Metallica feel to it and for all those existentialist souls out there, this whacky number is highly recommended!

The video has scenes from the film that build up in a crescendo along with the words. What has piqued our interest the most is Shahid’s relationship with Tabu in the film. If Vishal Bhardwaj has kept true to Hamlet‘s plot then you mustn’t expect Shahid and Tabu to share a typical mother-son bond.

Shraddha looks radiant in a Kashmiri girl’s role and her chemistry with Shahid is one to look out for.

Check out Aao Na here and tell us if you are excited about this Vishal Bhardwaj film!

Shahid, who was present at the meet was left speechless and could only flash a grin. Earlier, Vishal had remarked that Shraddha was selected because of her eyes, which looked Kashmiri, like the character she essays in the film. Now whom do we believe?

Comedy Nights With Kapil ‘Haider’ special: Shraddha Kapoor and Shahid Kapoor

Shahid kapoor with shraddha kapor Comedy Nights With Kapil ‘Haider

 Comedy Nights With Kapil ‘Haider’ special: Shraddha Kapoor and Shahid Kapoor have a gala time promoting the movie

Shahid Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor’s forthcoming film is only set to release in October this year, yet the stars seem to have already set out on a promotional spree. The duo recently appeared on the sets of popular comical show Comedy Nights With Kapil to promote their film Haider.

The episode started off with a very thanda act in which Kapil Sharma was seen in a Goan avatar trying hard to make the audience laugh with his silly and lame jokes. The presence of daadi and Kapil’s wife Manju in the act also couldn’t light up the mood of the audiences. All in all, the first half was uninteresting, colourless and mundane.

However, all the fun started with the entry of Shahid Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor in the second half of the episode. Shraddha looked pretty cute in a grey and white coloured crop top and a knee length skirt while Shahid looked uber cool in a skull t-shirt. Also, not to forget Shahid Kapoor’s dimples! Oh my God! His smile is to die for!

Shahid couldn’t stop laughing when Gutthi performed an item number on the Kashmiri folk song ‘Bismil Bismil’ from Haider. The audiences laughed their heads off watching Shraddha and Kapil perform a spoof on Romeo and Juliet. On asking about her role in Haider, the ‘Ek Villain’ actress said that she plays a very intense character in Haider. Her role in the film is that of a journalist. Haider is Shraddha’s first film with Vishal Bharadwaj and Shahid Kapoor. The director of the film, Vishal Bharadwaj, who is known for directing dark romantic films like Omkara and Maqbool, also joined in to promote his much-awaited film Haider. The film, which is an adaptation of William Shkespeare’s ‘Hamlet’, is slated to release on October 2, 2014.
