''Shahid is one of the most promising actors on the block. With Vivaah and Jab We Met he established himself as a very good actor and a star. Now with Kaminey, he is in the A-league; he is definitely someone who will compete for the number one throne at a later date,'' says Meena Iyer, national Bollywood editor, The Times of India.

The Charlie-Guddu roles have shattered the conception that he was just the romantic. And critics believe the 28-year-old son of seasoned actor Pankaj Kapur has made it to the big league. ''Shahid is going to be the next big thing...he has arrived. From a good-looking boy and a romantic hero, he has graduated to a star,'' said film critic Omar Quereshi. (Text: IANS)

Anupama Chopra, Consulting Editor, NDTV says: ''This is the role - or roles - of a lifetime and Shahid Kapur, best known for innocuous chocolate-boy romances, sinks his teeth into it. Kaminey does for him what Omkara did for Saif Ali Khan. A star has evolved into an actor.'' (Text: IANS)

The star is taking the accolades in his stride. ''Yes, various tags have been given to me since the success of Kaminey. And I am very happy to hear them, but the most important thing is to keep doing good work and surprising the audience every now and then. That to me is the biggest reward,'' said Shahid.
