Mausam is Shahid Kapoor’s first project with his father Pankaj Kapur. But how exactly did the Kaminey actor land the project? Here’s how:
Shahid Kapoor’s father, Pankaj Kapur, gave him the final script of Mausam to read, on the former’s birthday two years ago (in February 2009). So, in a way, the film was dad’s birthday gift to his son. And what did Shahid give his pa as a return gift? His nod to the project!
Lessons From Father
While on Shahid Kapoor and his actor-director-dad, Pankaj Kapur, there’s one thing about acting the son has learnt from his father. And that is: less is more.
