Did he make a mistake by making 'Padmaavat'? Shahid's regrets are public

Sometimes in the world of cinema, there are decisions that remain a question mark in the long career of a star. The same happened in the case of Shahid Kapoor. In a recent interview, the actor frankly admitted that he had doubts about whether making the film 'Padmaavat' was the right decision for him or not.

In Shahid's words, "I don't want to say much about this. Everyone did a very good job in the film. But I thought for some time why I made 'Padmaavat'. It is true that such a thought has come to my mind."

From this statement, it is clear that he regrets the film. In this historical film by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, he played the role of Raja Ratan Singh. But the main attraction of the film was Ranveer Singh's villain Alauddin Khilji and Deepika Padukone's Padmavati. As a result, Shahid's character pales in comparison to these two powerful presences.

This period was particularly important in Shahid Kapoor's career. He had single-handedly carried a film like 'Kabir Singh' on his shoulders and proved that he was also a reliable hero. After the success of that film, a film like 'Padmaavat', where his role was more like a shadow than the main character, may have been a wrong turn in his career.

During 'Padmaavat', many people also questioned why a star like Shahid played a secondary role. At that time, many thought that he did not want to miss the opportunity to work with Bhansali. But that opportunity may be a regrettable memory for him today.

In this situation, the casting of Bhansali's upcoming film has given rise to further discussions. The new film features Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal. There have also been speculations that a situation like Shahid's does not happen to Vicky. Because in Bhansali's films, there is always only one central character, and the others often lose importance.

Not only 'Padmaavat', but also in recent times, several of Shahid's films have failed at the box office. This year, one of his films was released, but it did not see success. As a result, the question arises in the minds of the audience, will Shahid be able to give another big hit in the coming days or not?

Once considered one of the most talented and promising actors in Bollywood, he is now questioning his own decisions. Shahid's frank statement makes it clear that as there are many challenges in the world of acting, it is even more difficult to make the right decision.

Today, when he looks back on his career, his mixed feelings about 'Padmaavat' explain that light and darkness always go hand in hand in the glittering world of Bollywood. And even though the unspoken oscillations inside an actor's mind often come to light, their depth is not easily understood.

 After Shahid's statement, many are wondering if he will accept film offers in the future based on the depth of the character. Because, despite having talent, if the work doesn't get importance on screen, it only leads the star to regret in the long run.
