~** HAIDER [U/A] - Updates Thread - D-DAY!!! YAY!! **~ - Page 3

I like that Vishal likes to experiment Shaksphere in the Indian context but his choice of actors leaves much to be desired. Now Shahid is a decent actor but I doubt he has the depth to play Hamlet or such complex roles. Ofcourse a lot will be in the director's hands...to create situations that bring out the best in his actors & I am not sure if Vishal can do it! His last venture, Matru ki bijli ka Mandola  was such a disaster that I doubt I will spend my hard earned money to see another one of his movies! Edited by bollyd - 10 years ago

Really...Kaminey was not a Shakespeare adaptation..and Vishal is quite a respected director with his own fan following..

Brafi would have been a lot better with Shahid in it..at least he would have acted in it..instead of just making comical faces like Ranbir...

Hits are good but not the only defining thing of an actor..actor should be able to act..😛

i never said dat Shahid is a bad actor.. its just that i dont see him capable enuff to fit into any of d shakespear characters.. 

nd as far as Ranbir is concerned, even i wud say he cant play Hamlet too..

nd yes actor needs to act, but obviously, when that acting reaches to d audience, then only d film becomes successful.. so we can also say that Shahid cudnt make his acting connect wid audience in any of his films except kaminey...😛

Barfii cud be a lot better than Shahid, yes, nd wid any other actor, WHEN anurag basu knew hw to extract that kind of performance.. neither Shahid gave any extraordinary performance in his career, nd neither he has dat much strong knowledge on scripts.. so yeah doing Hamlet can be good for him, but it will be a let down for ppl like me, who loved Hamlet, hw tough is dat to understand ?..

nd whats there to attack when someone just opines wid a different view ?.. its not that our opinions can change d fate of d film or d fate of d actor.. ofcourse our say comes from whatever we saw from dat actor/actress previously. Yes he is a decent actor, dancer, nd blah nd blah, but its still a FACT that hestill has to prove his mettle to prove his followers' right.. till now he hasnt...

I can't believe some of the comments here, Shahid is no crowd puller, shahid sucks, he can't act 😆

blah blah blah

If people like Sonam, Katrina, jackie, sunny leone, imran can make it big in bollywood then why not Shahid? 😆

Shahid can act. Compare his performances fida, jab we met, kaminey even

he has been an actor all along 

Shahid has everything the role of Hamlet requires, he has more acting skills than the flowerpots of bollywood and he made a few wrong choices but that doesn't mean he has no skills

As for PPNH , I am sure it will surprise people. Shahid is quite popular, he has that innocence and people loved him in JWM and even kaminey boasted of his acting skills

if the script is right, PPNH will work. If YJHD can work with absolutely no story then if PPNH has a story whats wrong in it? 

shahid can act better than the younger lot, Shahid could even pull off Barfi 

and except for Katrina, Ranbir, Khans, Bacchans no one is a real crowd puller in bollywood
