Kriti Sanon has opened up about working with Shahid Kapoor and praised him for his sharp understanding of cinema. The actress, who shared screen space with Shahid in Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya and has reunited
with him for Cocktail 2, said that he is not only an intelligent performer but also someone who has the instinct and knowledge to direct a film.
Speaking about Shahid as a co-star, Kriti said that his creative mind goes beyond acting. She also revealed that the two often discuss the possibility of doing a more intense film together, especially since both their collaborations so far have belonged to the lighter, romantic-comedy space.
Kriti Sanon Calls Shahid Kapoor An Intelligent Actor
Talking about Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon said, “He’s such an intelligent actor. I genuinely believe that he can actually direct a film. I would love him to direct a film because he has so much knowledge of filmmaking.”
Kriti added that while audiences have seen Shahid in several intense roles over the years, her own collaborations with him have allowed her to see a more relaxed and easygoing side of him on screen.
“We’ve seen him in intense roles. The two films that I’ve done with him have been relaxed, happy and chill in the rom-com space. So we kind of sometimes talk about, ‘Let’s do something intense now,’ because I want to see the intense side of Shahid,” she said.

Kriti also spoke about Shahid’s approach to performance and said that he does not like being boxed in by rigid methods. According to her, Shahid prefers spontaneity and believes in making a scene feel real rather than overly rehearsed.
“He doesn’t like rehearsing too much. He doesn’t like being bound by lines or bound by conventional approaches. He likes to flow with it and make something seem real and natural,” Kriti shared.
She further added that in Cocktail 2, Shahid has embraced a more relaxed energy as a performer. “In this film especially, he’s let go of the super-intelligent side of him,” she said.
