After the brilliant Jab We Met, Shahid Kapur hopes to give us another good film, Kismat Konnection, this Friday.
Nithya Ramani spoke to the actor, and asked him to shed light on his new film, directed by Aziz Mirza and co-starring Vidya Balan.
What is Kismet Konnection about?
It is a romantic comedy, similar to what you would expect of an Aziz Mirza film. In all his films, his protagonists always represent the common man. The characters are never too heavy, or senseless.
I play Raj, a struggling architect. Everybody thinks that he will make it big one day but it has been five years, and nothing much has happened yet. The character is very different than the one I played in Jab We Met, where I was very silent.
Do you believe in kismat?
Yes, I believe that there is another force that inspects our life. Like hard work and effort, fate plays a vital role in everyone’s life. People should know how to recognise an opportunity and grab it.
This is your first film with Vidya Balan. How has the experience been?
She is a wonderful actress, very simple and easy to get along. It becomes very easy if the actors get along well with each other. Initially, everyone was worried about how we would break the ice. But she made it very simple. She came up to me and asked for my autograph on the first day of the shooting. All of us started laughing.

Popular Bollywood actress Vidya Balan has walked out of a David Dhawan film because of fellow lead actor John Abraham.
Says a source close to Vidya, “Vidya is not doing UTV’s Hook Ya Crook. Vidya felt that after Salaam-E-Ishq, she and John needed to do a film which had substantial roles for both. She had reservations as Dhawan’s heroines don’t have much to do except sing, dance and look glamorous. She voiced her concern to the director who promised to make changes in her role. Vidya wants to do more women-oriented roles.”
The source adds, “Vidya doesn’t want to protest too much as she doesn’t want to upset David, so she has quietly opted out though the producer and David are insisting that Vidya is still doing it.”
A spokesperson for Vidya says, “Vidya is not doing the film but it’s because she doesn’t have the dates.”

Vidya Balan ditched Sooraj Barjatya at the last minute. This may sound shocking but it is actually true! Rajshri roductions’ Ek Vivah Aisa Bhi was to star Vidya Balan in the lead opposite Bobby Deol originally.
But now the November 7th releasing film has Eesha Koppikar along with Sonu Sood playing the main lead. So what went wrong?
Our sources revealed, “Sooraj Barjatya had approached Bobby Deol and Vidya Balan for his written film Ek Vivah Aisa Bhi being directed by debutante Kaushik Ghatak. They both had given their consent for the film.
But then though Bobby initially found the family oriented subject appealing, as the days progressed he developed cold feet. He excused himself out of the film citing dates problem. Sooraj had hoped that he would find a suitable actor in the A list to play the romantic lead opposite Vidya. But as that didn’t look to materialise, Vidya chickened out of the project preferring to do Kismat Konection along with Shahid.
Sooraj was then left with no option but to rope in small names like Eesha Koppikar and Sonu Sood to stop the film getting stalled even before it was about to be shot!”It looks a remote possibility that Sooraj Barjatya will now ever approach either Vidya Balan or Bobby Deol to star in any of his Rajshri banner films!
