 Even as rumours ofsplit with three-year-old girlfriend Kareena Kapoor are doing the rounds fast and furiously, Imtiaz Ali's romantic comedy, JAB WE MET, their first romantic film together, is definitely B-town's most talked about film. Looking dapper togged up in a printed shirt and cargo pants; he is all smiles as he greets you. If Shahid Kapoor is in pain about his break-up, the actor is not showing it. Instead he is all charged up about the film, which is carrying splendid reports.Don't you think JAB WE MET is a very unique title for a Hindi film? Isn't it cute? Actually it was my dad's (noted character actor Pankaj Kapoor) idea to have a Hindi-English title so that both, the multiplex audiences and people in smaller towns could connect with the film. So together we both did some intense brainstorming, and he hit upon JAB WE MET! There were two other options but JAB WE MET won hands down by a public vote!
Kareena Kapoor and you have worked in three other films together before this. This is your fourth one together. What expectations do you have from JAB WE MET from?
Yes, we did FIDA, 36 CHINA TOWN and CHUP CHUP KE, but all three were of a different genre with the focus being on other aspects than romance. I guess the audiences expected more of us together, which they will see for the first time in JAB WE MET which is an out and out romantic film! I am very excited about the film and confident it will do wonders at the box-office! It's one of my best films till date and one I'm immensely proud of!
Is it not ironical that your most romantic film is releasing at a time when so much is being said about your split with Kareena?
A lot has been written about Kareena and me on this issue which has caused distress to my family and to me. Frankly… this is something I would not like to comment on!
There were reports that all this is being done for the film's publicity…
Only the script and how the promos are presented affect a film's Box-office. Nothing else matters!
