Bollywood actor Shahid Kapoor feels his movie 'Kaminey' helped him to break out of the 'cute boy next door' image. On Sunday, he took to Instagram Story and penned a note expressing his love for 'Kaminey', which recently completed 12 years since its release. The actress revealed that the film allowed him to express himself as an actor.
"12 years ago this film allowed me to express myself as an actor..not a face..not that cute boy next door..not that done to death 'I am such a sweet guy good guy please like me' rubbish. My first double role. My first shot at a kamina no holds barred; a straight cut performing part. This was when it all started. So this one will always be special," Shahid wrote.
