MUMBAI: Shahid Kapoor’s last film was 2011’s ‘Mausam’. ‘Phata Poster Nikhla Hero’ will be his first film since then and he has returned with a vengeance.

Shahid Kapoor said, “I’ve not gone anywhere and I’m not going anywhere. I’m returning after a year and ek saal ke baad aaneka toh poster phaadke aaneka.”

Shahid Kapoor also talked about his role in the film. “I’m playing a desperate Salman fan in the film. We didn’t get much time together as we shot for a short period. Since the light was fading, we shot for two and a half hours. But it’s a really funny scene and he was nice. I experienced how fans react when they see actors. It was fun playing that kind of a character. In that particular shot, I’m shouting ‘bhai, bhai, bhai’ throughout the sequence.”

He also says that the reason he fell in love with the movies is due to the three Khans – Salman, Aamir and Shah Rukh. “During my school and college days, the three Khans were superstars for me; and will always be. The most memorable films in last 20 years feature them.”

Meanwhile, Shahid Kapoor also said that Ranbir Kapoor deserves the tag of ‘the next big thing’. But adds that, “That position also comes with a lot of pressure.”

‘Phata Poster Nikhla Hero’ releases on 20 September, 2013.
