Audiences and critics can’t stop raving about Shahid Kapoor’s performance in the hit film “Kaminey”, but the 28-year-old actor says doing the dark thriller was a “litmus test” as his well-wishers felt breaking away from his lover boy image may ruin his career.
“The fact is that mass as well as niche audiences have given a thumbs up to a subject and a genre that were never explored before. This was a very huge film for me and hence a big litmus test as well. It was such a huge risk and my fortune could have swung either way. I’m so happy that it paid off eventually,” Shahid told IANS.
