His role in Kaminey requires Shahid to say ‘f’ instead of ‘s’.So Shahid took lessons to lisp and stammer from leading ENT surgeon Dr Prabodh Karnik, so that he could play the character convincingly.
Vishal Bhardwaj, director of Kaminey, wanted to leave no stone unturned to present reality.
So he took Shahid to Dr Karnik.
Shahid plays a double role in the film - Charlie lisps and Guddu stammers.
Vishal confirmed the news about meeting Dr Karnik and said that it was a good learning experience that would bring the film closer to reality.
Shahid said that after meeting Dr Karnik, he got a better understanding of speech impairments and this would definitely help him keep his character real.
Meanwhile, Shahid Kapur's Yamaha MT 01 bike was the focus of all attention at Yash Raj Studios.
The fan brigade consisted of Ranbir Kapoor, Imran Khan and Abhishek Bachchan. "An excited Abhishek Bachchan even called John to have a dekko at the bike.
John was shooting a promo for New York in the same building and rushed down to see it," said a witness.
John has always been a bike freak.
"John loved the mean machine and kept staring at it. The bike had become a hot topic of discussion among the boys.
The guys took turns to feel and sit on the bike.
John also rode it!”
