Shahid Kapoor Inspired by DiCaprio's Role Selection Advice
Shahid Kapoor, a famous Bollywood actor, shared that he was inspired by advice from Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio.
DiCaprio said he likes to take on roles that are challenging and not just comfortable.
This means he picks parts where he isn't sure how to play the character at first.
Shahid found this idea really helpful and now tries to do the same.
He wants to grow as an actor by taking on new and difficult roles.
He talked about this on a podcast and mentioned his upcoming movie 'O’ Romeo,' which is directed by Vishal Bhardwaj.
Shahid has worked with Bhardwaj before and says his films always push actors to do something different.
Shahid Kapoor was inspired by Leonardo DiCaprio's approach to selecting challenging roles.

Shahid has adopted this philosophy to push his craft forward and grow as an artist.
He discussed this on the podcast Prakhar Ke Pravachan and related it to his upcoming film 'O’ Romeo.'
