Shahid portrays the role of an aspiring actor in Phata Poster Nikhla Hero
Mumbai:
Shahid Kapoor is excited about action and stunts in Phata Poster Nikhla Hero and Rambo Rajkumar, but urges not to tag it as "southern action".
"There is no southern connection as such. I think we should stop saying this southern thing because today almost every second film has that kind of action and people seem to be really liking it. The entire country responds to that," the 31-year-old said.
"If people enjoy it in the film, I will be happy because it is for the first time I am doing this kind of action. There is more coming in Rambo Rajkumar. So both the films will have a lot of action and I am excited," he added.
Phata Poster Nikhla Hero will also see lead actress Ileana D'Cruz doing a few stunts and Shahid reveals that his co-star was nervous doing action scenes.
"She was very nervous when we were doing stunts because she says her skin is sensitive and it gets bruised easily. She was very paranoid about that," Shahid said.
"But we did a few rehearsals. Ileana was a little uncomfortable and we tried our best to make her comfortable," he added.
Directed by Rajkumar Santoshi, Phata Poster Nikhla Hero features Shahid as Vishwas Rao, an aspiring actor. The film will hit theatres on August 23.
