Shahid Kapoor is not new to controversies. In fact, every time a movie starring the talented actor is ready to unfurl, stories about Shahid having problems with the director surface first, followed by news of romantic liaisons with the film's leading lady.

In the past, it was said Shahid had serious differences with Priyadarshan [Chup Chup Ke], Aziz Mirza [Kismat Konnection], Vishal Bhardwaj [Kaminey], Anurag Singh [Dil Bole Hadippa!] and Ken Ghosh [Chance Pe Dance]. Is he difficult to work with? "Isn't it strange that people ask this question every time my movie is complete? I am asked to clarify if the director and I see eye to eye… It amuses me no end," Shahid smiles.

Reportedly, Shahid and Parmeet Sethi, the actor who makes his directorial debut with 'Badmaash Company' , had difference of opinion over the climax of the film. "All discussions took place while we were in the [script] reading stages. If any changes were to be made, they had to be implemented before we began filming. Yes, I did express my opinion to Adi [Chopra] and Parmeet about a certain portion in the film. They agreed because they were convinced about it. But there were no issues when we began filming," Shahid clarifies. Shahid feels that Parmeet is a supremely talented director. "I am glad I agreed to work in 'Badmaash Company' Parmeet is a fine storyteller. In fact, I keep wondering, why didn't he take to direction earlier? Direction is his true calling," Shahid states.
