“This was one of those useless things that was bought at the last minute. We sent someone in 5 minutes and got these. This was for Shahid, so we can’t call them useless. Because Shahid had said that I won’t get out of the van. He would just take off the mask before the shot; otherwise, he had a mask on the entire time,” he said and added, “We were shooting in Cyber City. How can an air purifier help there? It is all open.”

‘Shahid Kapoor is manmauji (temperamental)’

Sumit said that Shahid was correct in asking for a precaution but this was “not a real solution; it was just for show. So you don’t get hurt that your demands have not been met and production has tried its best.”

When asked to describe Shahid’s personality, Sumit said he is a “temperamental person”. “I want to do this now, so I will do this. Now I want to leave so I will leave. Even if it has been decided that he has to stay,” he said and added, “From my understanding, he is the kind of person who believes, ‘I won’t think much about you, and you don’t think much about me. Even if you are thinking, I won’t think about you’.”

When Shahid made Kiara wait for 8 hours on Kabir Singh set

In an earlier appearance on Koffee with Karan, Kiara had shared that she was once made to wait 8 hours on the set of Kabir Singh because Shahid was discussing his shoes. “It was my third or fourth day of shooting, and I was made to wait for eight hours because there was discussion of what shoes Shahid would wear in the next scene,” she said.

Shahid is yet to announce his next feature film after Cocktail 2. He will next be seen in the Amazon Prime Video web series Farzi Season 2.
