So, What’s the Story?

Family may come first, but Shahid Kapoor is quite the smart cookie when it comes to his films. Both his parents, who are separated, offered their scripts to him at the same time.

Family may come first, but Shahid Kapoor is quite the smart cookie when it comes to his films. Both his parents, who are separated, offered their scripts to him at the same time. The teen heartthrob quickly chose his father Pankaj Kapoor’s movie Mausam over his mother Neelima Azim’s project. Gossip goes that it’s because Azim has no script to speak of yet. The yesteryear actress goes around giving two-hour narrations to hapless studio executives without a bound script. The movie is more than alive in her head, she claims. The corporate bigwigs are hoping that’s where the film stays—one guy muttered that his head was still reeling after a marathon narration. And after all that, he still had no clue what the story was. Clever, clever Shahid.
