March 22, 2010 (Sampurn Wire): Shahid Kapoor, who toned his body up quite a bit for Kaminey, seems to love that look of his and finds it perfect. His refusal to listen to first-time director Parmeet Sethi and choreographer Ahmed Khan on the sets of Yash Raj Films’ Badmaash Company, his refusal to do retakes and his crabbiness have already been in the news for a while now. Just when one thought that he wouldn’t create anymore trouble for the film unit, Shahid had to be difficult again yesterday.

While shooting for the movie’s title song at MT Studios, Shahid refused to listen to the unit again. The song required him to wear a white vest in a pub but he showed his reluctance to do so.
The team was bugged with the fact that Shahid knew beforehand that he was required to wear the vest. But when he reached the sets, he didn’t want to wear it and gave the reasons that he hadn’t been working out in the gym for a while because of his father, Pankaj Kapur’s directorial debut, Mausam. His role in Mausam is that of a depressed man and he had to look convincing for it.
Shahid didn’t want to wear the vest despite being told that the producer of the film, Aditya Chopra specifically wanted him to wear that vest. Finally, director Parmeet Sethi had to arrange for a half-sleeved white t-shirt. Only then did Shahid agree to shoot. Now whether this was his desire to look perfect or if it was just to harass the film’s unit, only Shahid can tell us…
