During the trailer launch of his upcoming film, Shahid had revealed that he would approach filmmakers after the release of Kabir Singh because he didn’t know where to go. It was all very new to him. The actor had stated, “After Kabir Singh released, I went like a beggar to everybody. I went to all these people who've made these 200-250 crore films.” Well, in a recent interview with Bollywood Life, Shahid was asked if that is still the case. To this he replied, “See, I did say that, but what I meant is that I've always been approaching all kinds of filmmakers for work, still do, and will always continue to do so as there's nothing wrong in that.”
