Shahid Kapoor delivered one of his career best acts with ‘Haider’, which swept the National Awards in 2015. Revealing the same, director Vishal Bharadwaj had told Mirror, “When we started planning the film, both Shahid and I agreed that it had to make money from day one. But, we also knew that Haider was a big film with a huge budget, an ensemble cast and lavish action pieces. Filming in Kashmir added to the costs. The only way we could succeed in our endeavour was not to burden the film with our remunerations. We kept the secret between us for a long time but it’s finally out.”
