Shahid Kapur has come for high praise from Amol Gupte who plays the villain in his upcoming movie Kaminey. For the first time in his career, Shahid plays a double role in which the two brothers are poles apart when it comes to morality. Amol has gone on the record saying that Shahid had inherited the acting gene from his father Pankaj Kapur. It is embedded in the DNA he says.

The performance that Shahid has packed in is a highly charged one. The level of expertise in his acting and that strive to achieve excellence is seen in an actor after decades of experience but he seems to have achieved that in a short career span. Last, that Amol saw any actor with that zeal was Aamir Khan and that is saying a lot.

The two characters of Shahid and Guddu are so different. The nuances of both of them are different. The stammer has to be present when he plays Guddu and then he has to switch to play Charlie. To get into that mindset he used to stay on the sets all the time so that he would remain focused. That is what his father also used to do and he is flowing similar style of acting to keep up the level of performance.

Pankaj played a dual role in the movie Dus. Such an impression Shahid has create don him that he intends to caste him in the lead whenever he makes a movie. Shahid will be hoping to get the same success and critical acclaim that his father got after working with Vishal Bhardwaj in movies like Maqbool and The Blue Umbrella.
