After a lukewarm 2005 didn't get him any box office gains in spite of being noticed for good performances in DEEWANE HUE PAGAL, VAAH LIFE HO TOH AISI and SHIKHAR, 2006 has been extremely positive for him with back to back successes in the form of 36 CHINA TOWN, CHUP CHUP KE and above all VIVAH.

In continuation to the same trend, year 2007 should also begin on a rocking note for him with the release of FOOL N FINAL, which is a Firoz Nadiadwala production. A full on entertainment film, FOOL N FINAL has a trademark Nadiadwala stamp and director Ahmed Khan is only expected to deliver what is expected from films belonging to such genre.

Further to this, Shahid Kapoor has just started signing new films after a hiatus with the first one being a Ramesh Sippy production. This yet untitled film has Shahid starring opposite Nana Patekar with Rohit Shetty of GOLMAAL fame at the helm of direction.

Looking forward to this new innings of Shahid Kapoor!
