Mumbai, May 13: Post his brusque breakup with one of the most hi-profile B-town actress Kareena, the suave actor is leaving no stone unturned to ensure that he has moved on. With four back-to-back releases - ‘Kaminey’, ‘Yahoo,’ ‘Hadippa’ and ‘Paathshaala,’ Shahid Kapur is one of the most happening B-town actors. The actor is gung-ho about his upcoming flick ‘Kaminey’ and said, “Yup, Vishal Bharadwaj says my role is going to definitely surprise the audience. It is a hugely challenging role, very different from Jab We Met, and though JWM is the reason why Vishal signed me for ‘Kaminey’ —both roles are poles apart.’’ With grapevine of Priyanka and Shahid’s blossoming romance doing rounds of Bollywood, the actor said, “I’m not left with much of a choice, am I? I’m linked to all my co-stars. With ‘Kismat Konnection’ it was Vidya Balan, now with ‘Kaminey’ it is Priyanka.’’ Clarifying his stand, the actor added, “Priyanka and I are good friends. However, people have been jumping the gun. If we take our relationship further, I may talk about it; but people are in a rush to link us together. I will not lie or hide a relationship but I will not stand on the rooftop and announce it either.’’
