Sanam Teri Kasam directors Vinay Sapru and Radhika Rao reveal how they discovered Shahid Kapoor for Aankhon Mein Tera Chehra: ‘Like Salman Khan, he looked like a star'
While filmmakers Vinay Sapru and Radhika Rao are widely known for their romantic drama Sanam Teri Kasam , their legacy in Indian music videos stretches far deeper. The duo has been at the forefront of India's visual music culture since the 1990s, working with top stars and creating iconic moments on screen. In a recent appearance on the Hindi Rush Podcast, the directors opened up about their journey and the many stories that shaped it, one of the most memorable being the discovery of a young Shahid Kapoor for the song Aankhon Mein Tera Chehra . The casting that changed Shahid Kapoor's life Vinay Sapru recalled how the search for a fresh face led them to choreographer Shiamak Davar's dance class. 'Shiamak told us, 'This cute boy you're looking for, he's in my class. You must come and look.' So I went to the class, and there was Shahid, dancing in the background,' he said. Radhika Rao, who wasn't initially part of the casting process, remembered how Vinay had described Shahid. 'Vinay came to the office and said, 'We've found a cute, urban Archie. You have to come and see this boy.' Then he told me, 'He's Pankaj ji's son, Neelima ji's son.'' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Glicemia alta?

'Some actors have a face that the camera just loves — place the camera anywhere and they still look great.' She compared Shahid to Salman Khan , whom she called a perfect example of camera-friendly proportions. 'Salman sir, like Bhai, you don't have to cheat angles with him. With Shahid, it was the same. Any angle, any frame — he looked like a star.'

'Woh apna poora din sirf observation mein spend karte hain… hum log phir bhi chook jaate hain, woh nahi chookte.' (He spends his entire day observing… even if we miss something, he doesn't.)
