Actor Shahid Kapoor has dismissed reports that his next collaboration with filmmaker Imtiaz Ali is a sequel to their 2007 hit Jab We Met.<\/p>\n
Ever since the project was announced, there were reports that the film will be an \u2018organic\u2019 sequel to Jab We Met, which featured Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor Khan.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is nothing to do with \u2018Jab We Met\u2019 and in this film I don\u2019t look sad! We will make another good film. Why do we live in the past? It (\u2018Jab We Met\u2019) has already been done. So no, (this isn\u2019t a sequel),\u201d he said in a group interview.<\/p>\n
The director-actor duo will start working on the project next year after Shahid Kapoor wraps up Shree Narayan Singh\u2019s Batti Gull Meter Chalu.<\/p>\n
The Padmaavat star, who is currently shooting for the film, says as an actor his goal is to constantly try and do different roles.

\u201cIt\u2019s not about performing better or worse, it\u2019s about (being) different. That\u2019s the operative word for me. I would like to do different things. Every film, every role offers you different opportunities, you have to be true to that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou should never bring your personal aspirations into what is required from a film.\u201d<\/p>\n
In Batti Gull Meter Chalu, Shahid is playing a lawyer from a small town in the film.<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2018Batti…\u2019 will be very different from my \u2018Padmaavat\u2019 character of Rawal Ratan Singh. I\u2019m thankful if people think the bar (of performance) has been raised. I need to raise it every time,\u201d said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
