1910, 1960 and 2012. The era that you're talking about, the 1960s, Dev saab, Mr. Raj Kapoor, Dilip saab, they were the largest stars. I'M playing a personality of that time, a struggling musician. So, whatever we've got done is encouraged by them," the 31-year-old said here Monday at the sets of "Dance India Dance".
"Kunal (director Kunal Kohli) desired to pay slightly tribute to them. So, slightly is encouraged from them. I DON'T BELIEVE anybody can do what they've really done," added Shahid, who stars opposite Priyanka Chopra within the film.
When asked why the 2 actors took goodbye to return together for an additional film after delivering the 2009 hit film Kaminey, Priyanka said: "I DON'T BELIEVE Shahid produces films nor do I produce films. Whenever a movie is obtainable to us together, we will be able to do one and we're glad to be doing 'Teri Meri Kahaani' because it is a very special film and we're more than pleased to have come together for that."
Teri Meri Kahaani also stars Prachi Desai and the film is slated for a June 22 release.
