Imtiaz Ali’s Jab We Met, starring Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor Khan, has been one of the most popular films of Bollywood. The filmmaker recently shared his bond with the actor and labelled him as ‘self appointed guide’ as Shahid wanted Imtiaz to call him before fixing his price post Jab We Met.

During an interview with Mid Day, Imtiaz revealed an incident which he can never forget, when he was asked about how Shahid has been a guidance to him. The filmmaker recalled the actor telling him that since their movie had worked a bit so the director shouldn’t fix price for his next film then.

Imtiaz disclosed that the actor told him he could get twice the price or even 1 crore. He shared Shahid’s instructions to him which were, ‘Don’t fix right now Don’t fix it without calling me.’ Imtiaz added that Shahid thought people would fool him. He said, “Shahid was like a self-appointed guide.”

Meanwhile, on the work front, Shahid will be next seen in Deva, wherein he will share the screen space with Pooja Hedge.
