With 46.9 million followers on Instagram, Shahid posted a Reel that featured stills from Kaminey, showcasing his dual roles as Charlie and Guddu. The post, simply captioned "Fifteen years of Kaminey!", stirred up a wave of emotions among fans and fellow actors.
Actor Jibraan Khan chimed in with a comment, calling the film a "Classic." Fans flooded the post with comments, with one remarking, "Miss this Shahid. So much better than Kabir Singh," while another urged, "We want a sequel." The movie's impact was evident as another fan noted, "The movie which allowed you to showcase your acting skills!"
Released in 2009, Kaminey was written and directed by Vishal Bhardwaj and produced by Ronnie Screwvala under UTV Motion Pictures. The film also starred Priyanka Chopra and Amole Gupte, set against the gritty backdrop of the Mumbai underworld. The plot revolved around the intense rivalry between twin brothers, one with a lisp and the other with a stutter, over the course of a single, life-altering day.
The film's soundtrack, composed by Vishal Bhardwaj with lyrics by the legendary Gulzar, was a massive hit. Songs like Dhan Te Nan, Fatak, Raat Ke Dhai Baje, and Pehli Baar Mohabbat became instant chart-toppers and are still remembered fondly by fans.
Since his breakout role in Kaminey, Shahid Kapoor has continued to evolve as an actor. He began his career with the 2003 romantic comedy Ishq Vishk, directed by Ken Ghosh, where he starred alongside Amrita Rao and Shenaz Treasurywala. Over the years, he has delivered notable performances in films like Vivah, Jab We Met, Haider, Padmaavat, and Kabir Singh.
Shahid was last seen in the science fiction romantic comedy Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya. Up next, he will be taking on the role of a police officer in the highly anticipated action thriller Deva. Directed by Rosshan Andrrews and produced by Siddharth Roy Kapur, the film also features Pooja Hegde and Pavail Gulati. Set to release on February 14, 2025, Deva promises to be an adrenaline-pumping ride full of thrills and drama.
As Shahid Kapoor marks this significant milestone, fans are clamoring for a sequel to Kaminey. The film's unique storyline, coupled with Shahid's powerful performance, left a lasting impact that continues to resonate with audiences. Whether or not a sequel is in the works remains to be seen, but the demand is certainly there.
In the meantime, Shahid Kapoor's fans eagerly await his next big-screen appearance, hoping to see him deliver yet another unforgettable performance.
