In an interview with Bollywood Spy, the actor had said, “Mujhe nahi lagta we should draw any kinds of lines, and I would say that for even the Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada audience, I would say ki aap bhi Hindi films dekho, kyuni Hindi audience toh dil khol ke aapki films accept kar rahi hai. Toh aap bhi hamari films accept karo, toh hi toh cinema grow karega. Toh khula dil hona chahiye, woh acceptance honi chahiye aur har taraf se honi chahiye. (Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada audience should also watch Hindi films as Hindi audience has wholeheartedly accepted their films. So, they should also accept our films for the growth of cinema).”

On the work front, Shahid Kapoor will be next seen with Kriti Sanon in an untitled romantic comedy.
