Is Shahid Kapoor the new SRK?

Aziz Mirza is back after a gap of nearly five years with Kismat Konnection . With Shahid Kapoor, it is for the first time that Aziz Mirza is working with an actor other than Shah Rukh Khan. So comparisons between Shahid Kaoor and Shah Rukh Khan are obviously being made.

Speaking about Shah Rukh Khan and Shahid Kapoor, Mirza said, “When I narrated the script of Kismat Konnection to Shah Rukh Khan and Juhi Chawla, Juhi said that this would have been the ideal film for Shah Rukh Khan if he was 15-20 years younger. Both, Shah Rukh Khan and Shahid Kapoor are very hard working. They are very good actors. They are natural actors. Even after giving a good shot, I can ask them to try one more shot. Their acting level is very high. Shah Rukh has had a long innings. Shahid has just started his career. Hopefully he will also have a long innings. I had seen this picture with Shahid in mind. I wanted a young boy for this film. At that time, none of Shahid’s movies had worked. Even Vivah was not released.”

We will see if after Shah Rukh Khan, Shahid Kapoor will be the person that Aziz Mirza will continue working with, in the times to come.
