The amazing success of Vishal Bharadwaj’s Kaminey has thrown its lead actor Shahid Kapoor into a new league. Shahid, known for his lover boy image, has proved that he is adept in handling unconventional roles like the one in Kaminey.

The actor says that he was discouraged by many not to sign up Kaminey as it could ruin his career. However, the actor’s bold move and his trust in director Vishal Bharadwaj have ensured that his decision is right, after all.

The IANS quoted him as saying, “I am happy that Kaminey worked for me and I am also aware about the fact that post the success of the film, there are also lot of expectations from me. Still, it’s early days for me to begin celebrations.”
