'Finding success is easier than keeping it'. Great line, Shahid!

[@nandankrovi]

What a brilliant concept! Shahid is rightly one of the most underrated stars in the industry. Padmavati is a milestone of a movie when it comes to bringing commercially and critically acclaimed together. In his almost 15 years of a career, I hope after Haider and udta, padmavati would bring that kind of an acknowledgment for him.

[@yashrawal2015]

Kabir Singh 😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@AnonymousAlien2099]

>Underrated He's actually a household name in India. Stop overusing and misusing the word 'underrated'.

[@hamanimohamed3700]

Rajkumar Hirani sir please make a movie with shahid Kapoor, you guys are absolutely brilliant together it will be a dream team . love you shahid Kapoor ❤

[@farha.d.chaudhry5411]

Shahid is such a nice guy, looking forward to see him in more good films, a very fine actor. Good show, very engaging concept !

[@rajeshkumarpadhi6557]

loved watching it and Shahid spoke amazingly well no doubt he has not got his due till now , the most underrated actor of Bollywood who has everything looks, acting and dancing talent but still has not got his due. The most versatile actor from his generation.

[@basimmicheal4371]

like saif that people dont consider him as a big khan but he has amazing acting skills probably more better than salman himself or even aamir

[@alikhan.1390]

Basim Micheal I agree

[@alikhan.1390]

Rajesh Kumar Padhi agree

[@mohitsinghania5155]

@@basimmicheal4371 totally agree man

[@namratajain928]

Shahid has really evolved himself.... Not just as an actor but also as a human being

[@kaashianbaliarsingh341]

And that's why Shahid is my favourite..!! His statements are so relate-able and so connecting..!!

[@jyotijoe9311]

shahid kapoor is most underrated actor of bollywood as he has no connections with big directors who can unleash his talent

[@hastalavista2907]

yes I agree... atleast he is not a product of nepotism.. he has got talent.....

[@stifler4eva1]

micky ahuja lol he's son of pankaj Kapoor. Lmao stupids all around..

[@rahulnarwarofficial]

stifler4eva His parents separated when he was only 2 years old, completed his schooling in Delhi at the age of 16 he used to earn money from last classes he was a background dancer in Taal And Dil to pagal hai .. without approached his father name rejected almost 200 auditions got ishq vishq on his own talent not bcz of father name and also his father was a character artist not like nepotism products jinko SLB or ROPM launch kre ya Karan Johar

[@stifler4eva1]

Rahul Narwar parents separated early doesn't mean he raised on his own... Secondly he got chance to work on advertisement as a child artist, got aankho me Tera hi chehra at the age of 16. It's not possible for a teen boy to manage it on his own without having contacts and Pankaj Kapoor and Mrs Nileema Azim name. I personally know lot of artists in Mumbai who took admission in acting schools or have gone there after theaters they fail to get a single chance anywhere. My point is he may not have got people ready to launch him like Arjun Kapoor, Varun Dhawan, Ranbir Kapoor but he has better chances than a complete outsider. In my opinion there are very few nepotism free self made artists in Bollywood most of the guys you see even Ranveer Singh, Siddhartha Malhotra etc has good contacts in Industry. Very few guys are self made like Sushant, Nawazuddin, Irrfan Khan etc And lastly, his very own brother Ishan khattar is getting opportunities easily because of Shahid and his mom.

[@stifler4eva1]

Rahul Narwar in a closed inaccessible Industry like bollywood its important to bit change our definition of Nepotism. If someone is launched by dad or get signed up by closed friends and big banner at the very initial phase of his/her career is a nepotism than someone who gets chances based on his contacts not albeit by big banners but medium A grade Banners as compared to a more talented outsider who is struggling for same or getting B grade offers, this is also some kinda nepotism.

[@jameshudson7603]

I want to see weird combinations. Like Salman khan and Raju Hirani, aamir khan and Anurag kashyap, shahrukh and Vishal bharadwaj

[@mehtaverse6942]

Yes please

[@littlesushie]

Well, we had Rajkumar Rao and Farah Khan 😂

[@user-fk8md4jn3i]

Oh plz not salman he cannot he even talk articulately

[@abdullahsharay3157]

Salman ki hit hogayegi ,Aamir ki flop aur Shahrukh ki Average.

[@aninditasaha2676]

They tried and it's a disaster as we all know

[@ayushioberoi1190]

Shahid deserve to work with raju hirani

[@NikhilKakkar999]

Ayushi oberoi Raju hirani deserves to work with shahid kapoor

[@tarunreddy335]

Ayushi oberoi lmao raju is the bigger name than shahid

[@stifler4eva1]

Hirani knows his job and he knows who is fit in to his character.

[@stifler4eva1]

Satyameva Jayate yeah SRK is a great actor no doubt.. So is Ranbir, Aamir and lot of other guys. The problem with most of them is that they lack script sense. This one rare quality is one with which Aamir Khan is blessed that's why he has least failure ratio and his movies are remembered for long time.

[@stifler4eva1]

Satyameva Jayate but I have heard that SRK will work with Raj Kumar Hirani in his next movie. I hope it is true.

[@SuperLovealot]

I LOVED THIS CONCEPT! Shahid is so underrated, these two need to work together.

[@SagarJadav]

Hit like for Shahid Kapoor!

[@sumitasingha7317]

I always feel great to watch Shahid in interviews,he is really amazing,he is so down to earth and the way he gives his opinion is so connecting.He is one of the finest actors we have in Bollywood, wishing more and more success to Shahid 😘😍

[@thetoygamer3199]

It will be amazing to see Shahid Kapoor and Rajkumar hirani sir together 🔥

[@saurabhdasnair3210]

This was like a really entertaining and candid interview plz make more such interviews and this unexpected combo was great.

[@FilmCompanion]

Thanks for watching, Saurabh! We're working on more such :)

[@sumanaroy2946]

This guy just can't stop impressing me ....I end up falling in love with him over and over again...so brutally honest,such a down to earth and humble person...makes so much sense...respect

[@VenkateshRavi24]

Loved this new concept.. It was so interesting and I enjoyed listening to the honest and insightful answers from Shahid and Raju Hirani Sir. The best part was that the tapes had questions from a fan and also another director and that made it so exciting as any tape they chose may also contain a little surprise :)

[@FilmCompanion]

Thank you for watching, Venkatesh! We're so happy to know you enjoyed it. Stay tuned for more! :)

[@tilakshenoy8440]

Film Companion please invite SRK and Anurag Kashyap in one of the episodes

[@mustafajaved8996]

Rajkumar Hirani has surpassed international standards for making comedy films. TAKE A BOW YOU GROUNDED LEGEND.

[@SuperMOMMitali]

Love the concept...The person who paired both these gentlemen together in an episode deserves an applause!!! Great content! Beautiful episode!

[@ayushioberoi1190]

shahid is underrated

[@kunaldstar]

Ayushi oberoi not anymore... People now recognise his talent and that shows in the type of films he is doing

[@araslimaj5912]

Ayushi oberoi overrated

[@GauravJoshiseeker]

Definitely overrated!! Only coz of looks... And a couple good films... However doing some fine films recently..

[@janee1xz]

Ayushi oberoi underrated? In my opinion he is overrated.

[@chaitanya553]

I think he is underated not in sense of his acting but he is never considered in the same line as Ranveer or Ranbir since his movies have not made that much money which they deserve to make

[@vimalsinghbisht6951]

I find Shahid Kapoor the most mature & wise actor from his age group. Very nice answers especially the last one. & Of course Hirani Sir is legend. ❤🙏

[@zararafridi1051]

I think Shahid is talking about Shaandar and Vikas Bahl

[@suneelkumar555]

He talked about 2 directors

[@rahulnarwarofficial]

Brilliant concept amazing episode .... Loved Shahid ❤️ and Raju sir ... Hope they both work together very soon .

[@FilmCompanion]

Thanks for watching, Rahul!

[@shivamlohiya2529]

yesh shahid it's Awsm actor 😘😘

[@adish7839]

Talent like shahid is not raising in bollywood, producers choose stardom instead of talent, that's the very small thinking in bollywood

[@sudhangshudas3099]

Ravi Sharma After kaminey he chose very crap films. The films were crap and his roles had nothing new to do.

[@sanusingha1238]

Sudhangshu Das After Kaminey he gave masterpiece movies like Haider & Udta Punjab & gave awesome performance in Rangoon & now he is coming with Padmavati.

[@sudhangshudas3099]

Sanu Singha123 Mausam, teri meri kahani, r Rajkumar, phata poster Nikla Hero, shandar.... I'm talking about these films..

[@sanusingha1238]

Sudhangshu Das For you kind info. Let me tell you in Mausam, Teri meli kahaani his acting was appreciated but I know these were not that much good but not as bad as people think of it. Portraying three different roles in a single movie is not everyone's cup of tea. & PPNH & rajkumar were entertaining films. His fan following increased from these films even I became fan from PPNH & I don't think there would be any actor who have never done these type of films. & if we talk about shaandaar then it's the only film which was even disliked by shanatics. But his acting was always on top even in this film.(if you don't believe you can check the critics reviews)

[@kamal2005kant]

Hirani sir is always relax. See the way he sits and talk

A brilliant coup to get these 2 gems together . Couldn’t be a better way to start the series . Shahid’s honesty and eloquence is just amazing . And so relatable .

[@anishsamtani4713]

What an interesting concept with cassettes! By eliminating a talk show host and just letting the two celebs speak, it has made it really interesting. Well done film companion! 👏

[@alpana9742]

Wow!this was a truly good interview. The concept also was like a breath of fresh air as were the questions. Very few interviews in India today regarding the film industry are made with an intent to know more about the process of film making and are less about the personal lives of the people being interviewed. That is why i guess both shahid and rajkumar seemed so at ease in this one. I would say you should continue these with more unexpected pairs opposite each other. This was real fun. 😊👍
