Not A Quintessential Hero In Paathshala- Shahid

“I have a substantial role that lasts for 30-40 minutes in the film,” claimed Shahid at a press meet today to talk about the upcoming movie Paathshala, a take on the contemporary Indian social value system, that was slated for release by January 2009. Shahid told the media that he did not play any quintessential role in the movie which is “small” in comparison to his already released big hits of Kaminey and Hadippa in the last six months. Shahid plays a teacher in the flick.
The delay in Paathshala’s release, Shahid said, owed responsibility to its moving from Big Pictures to Eros “and they would be making plans to line up the film in a proper manner. However, I am sure they would have the right campaign in place for the film’s release. The film has to be protected and released when there is no other film of mine coming up.”
“It’s a very socially relevant film and talks about the education system in the country. I am really happy to have played a role in it. I have seen the rushes of the film and really cried throughout. I get really emotional when watching a film. Even during ‘Taare Zameen Par’, I cried throughout and was looking around me if anyone was watching me,” he said.
