The Shahid Kapoor & Ken Ghosh partnership
From Ishq Vishk (2003) to Chance Pe Dance (2010). It started with Ishq Vishk (2003).
The shape of the work
The 2000s belonged to Ishq Vishk; the 2010s to Chance Pe Dance. Shahid Kapoor acted in every film; Ken Ghosh directed all of them. Strictly Hindi cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Ken Ghosh cast Shahid Kapoor in 'Ishq Vishk' after seeing him in a music video. Shahid was a complete unknown. That film made him a star overnight.
- On 'Fida', Ken Ghosh pushed Shahid to play darker, more intense emotions. Shahid later said Ken made him realize he could do more than just a cute boy-next-door.
- 'Ishq Vishk' launched the entire 'college romance' trend in early 2000s Bollywood. Without that film, you probably don't get 'Masti' or 'Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na' in the same way.
- Ken Ghosh and Shahid stayed close even after their films stopped working. Ken was one of the first people Shahid called when he signed 'Kaminey' — to ask if he should take the risk.
- Shahid said about Ken Ghosh: 'He gave me my first break. He saw something in me when nobody else did. I owe him a lot.' — in an interview around 'Chance Pe Dance' release.
