Shahid Kapoor ends friendship with Ken Ghosh

Friends turning foes and vis versa is not uncommon in the showbiz. Shahid Kapoor and director Ken Ghosh were buddies at one point of time. They worked together in Ishq Vishk and Fida. However, their friendship is said to have taken a beating during the making of Chance Pe Dance. The news is doing the rounds that problem started cropping up after Shahid interfered in the making of Chance De Dance, which has Genelia D’Souza in the female lead.

Everyone was shocked to see a much different Shahid. Ghosh was not happy with his changed behaviour, and thus they fallout.Shahid had worked with big directors like Imtiaz Ali, Aziz Mirza and Vishal Bhardwaj when Chance Pe Dance happened. So, he started interfering in the making of the film, which irked the director.

However, Ghosh has taken it sportingly. He said that change is bound to happen, as he is 28 now; compared to 22 when Ishq Vishk was released.

Shahid Kapoor Salutes Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson's death has triggered off an unprecedented wave of nostalgia in our film industry.
But by far, the most significant tribute to MJ would be Ken Ghosh's untitled film, where believe it or not, Shahid is a Michael Jackson devotee.

UnintentionalConfirming this, the film's director Ken Ghosh says, "It's not as if we planned it this way. But it's uncanny. Just before Michael Jackson's death we shot a sequence where Shahid salutes a poster of MJ. It isn't just homage. It's like a devotee bowing to his deity. When we saw the sequence at a trial which happened after Michael's death, we were zapped."

Ken has a problem now. "Audiences when they see this particular sequence will think it has been added on after Michael's death. But that's not the case. We shot the moment before MJ's death. What can we do if Shahid plays an MJ devotee?"

Role model

Though Shahid doesn't copy MJ's steps in Ken Ghosh's film he hero-worships MJ. "Shahid plays a dancer who dreams of being a star. Michael is his role model," informs Ken. "I couldn't have Shahid copying Michael's steps. It would've been an insult to both. Shahid has his own stunning dancing style."

Ken is amazed at how much Shahid has matured since the actor made his debut in Ken's Ishq Vishk six years ago. "I was watching Ishq Vishk some time ago. Shahid's face has changed completely now. It's like he's a different person now."

It's called love and experience, Ken.
