Shahid Kapoor says he did not like himself in Padmaavat: ‘I got stuck in a headspace’

In a recent conversation with Humans of Bombay, when Shahid was asked to name one character of his that he would like to revisit and play differently, the actor said that he would like to replay the role of Maharawal Ratan Singh. He said, “I did not like myself. I was so uptight. I think I did not bring out other elements of that personality, I got stuck in a headspace. I am being candid, maybe other people liked me, but I did not.”

Shahid had once shared that he felt like an outsider on the sets of Padmaavat. He had told DNA, “I’m used to being the favourite of all my filmmakers. This was the first time that I was like an outsider. When you work with a team that has worked together, you are kind of an outsider and it takes time for you to break through that barrier.”

Meanwhile, Shahid was recently seen in the web series Farzi opposite Raashi Khanna and Vijay Sethupathi. He will next be seen in Ali Abbas Zafar’s action-thriller, Bloody Daddy. The film will stream on Jio Cinemas on June 9.
