Monday, 27th Oct 2015, 3:26 PM IST We all know that there was a time when Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor Khan were dating each other. After their break up, they didn’t star in any film together. However, they will now be seen together in Abhishek Chaubey’s ‘Udta Punjab’. Well, not many know that Shahid had told the makers to cast Kareena in the film. The actor recently in an interview stated that he was a little scared while referring Kareena for the film. Shahid said, "The role that Kareena plays, I felt it was perfect for her. In fact, I was a little scared of referring Kareena as I did not know how it would be perceived." "Lot of people were not ready to take up a film like this. It needs lot of confidence as an actor and as a star. As a star you do things that are surprising for people to watch you and you don't know how they will react and as an actor all the roles are very challenging. Maybe I have just learnt to take risks and am known to be a little more fearless. I think all of us are actors and have our reservations and we need to think hard before doing a film," he added. Not just Kareena, but the actor also convinced his ‘Shaandaar’ co-star Alia Bhatt for the film. He said, "When I told Alia about it, I felt instinctively that she is as good an actor as she is a star and therefore she would understand what potential the content has. And she did. Actually, I thought of Kareena even before I thought of Alia. But with Kareena, things got delayed. Then I told Alia that there is this role which is yet not cast and if she would like to do this role. Then in the same month Kareena also heard it and agreed to do the film. So it just happened. And I felt very happy when it happened for I feel it is a very special film."
