“My inspiration for ‘Shaandaar’ is Alia – Shahid Kapoor

Shahid Kapoor , after critically much acclaimed HAIDER in now all set to arrive at boxoffice with his latest romantic flick Shaandaar.Expressing his memories of Shaandaar this chocolaty boy has said that it was Alia with whom he wanted to cast with and the reason behind signing Shaandaar.

"My inspiration for Shaandaar is Alia.I wanted to work with Alia Bhatt and it was my only opportunity.

Honestly, when we signed the film and were shooting for it, Vikass Queen hadnt released, my Haider hadnt released and Alias Highway was about to release.So the time when we took up this film, we werent exciting people.

And the year passed, and the films of all three of us were liked by viewers, so Shaandaar became a very big film, But we never made Shaandaar from that (big) point of view.We made it because its a really nice, entertaining film and a fresh concept.

Vikas has taken a love story and I dont think weve had a destination wedding film before.So weve just gone out there and made the film that it needs to be by just going out there and having fun " Shahid Said.
