Pankaj Kapoor's much delayed film ‘Mausam’ is all set to go on floor very soon. It is heard that Shahid Kapoor in the fear of his dad is utilizing even his spare time for preparing himself for the role of an air force officer in the movie.

 

His confidence level zeros down in front of his father during shoot, Shahid reveals, “It’s a very scary thought. But in life you’ve to face challenges. Of course, there’s anxiety and fear about acting in front of my father. I quite often think I’ve given a decent performance. And then when I hold a trial show for my father all the confidence crumbles.”

 

As a dedicated son, Shahid contributes most of his time for his father's project. Shahid adds, “It’s a film very close to my heart because after 35 years of acting, Dad is finally directing a film. After being the best actor in the country (that’s what I believe him to be) he has decided to make a film with me in the lead because he wants to project me in a certain way. It’s a huge sacrifice for someone who does so little work as an actor. The least I can do is to be there unconditionally for him during the time that he makes the film.”

 

In a previous incident while working for ‘Jab We Met’ he remembers how he was numbed in the presence of his father and was totally unable to give a perfect shot. Shahid recounts, “ I remember this one time when we were shooting for ‘Jab We Met’ near Khandala. Dad dropped in and was watching me on the monitor. And I just couldn’t give my shot! I actually had to tell my dad to leave. I tactfully told him to proceed, and I’d join him for lunch. He immediately understood. And my next shot was okay.”

 

Well, sometimes fear do much good and may be Shahid improves more owing to this fear!
