Vishal Bhardwaj is my Martin Scorsese: Shahid

Actor Shahid Kapoor, who has been praised for his performances in Vishal Bhardwaj’s films including 'Haider', says the filmmaker is his Martin Scorsese. Directed by Bhardwaj and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, upcoming film Rangoon features Shahid along with Saif Ali Khan and Kangana Ranaut.

Asked how did it feel to work with Bhardwaj again, Shahid said, “It’s an amazing opportunity to work with Vishal sir who I think is my Martin Scorsese. He has cast me for the third time so, it’s very cool. It’s a really different film. I think it’s a mainstream film and it’s always a pleasure to work with Vishal sir.”

Shahid’s brother Ishaan is expected to make his Bollywood debut. Asked about his brother’s Bollywood plans, Shahid said, “He will be doing something at some point. What he is doing and what not, is not my jurisdiction. Let him talk.”
