Actor Shahid Kapoor says filmmaker Vishal Bhardwaj is his Martin Scorsese.

Kapoor has been praised for his performances in Bhardwaj’s films, including Haider.

Upcoming film Rangoon, directed by Bhardwaj and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, features Kapoor along with Saif Ali Khan and Kangana Ranaut.

Asked how it was to work with Bhardwaj again, Kapoor said: “It’s an amazing opportunity to work with Vishal sir, who I think is my Martin Scorsese. He has cast me for the third time so it’s very cool. It’s a really different film. I think it’s a mainstream film and it’s always a pleasure to work with Vishal sir.”

Kapoor’s brother Ishaan is expected to make his Bollywood debut soon.

Asked about his Ishaan’s plans, Kapoor said: “He will be doing something at some point. What he is doing and what not is not my jurisdiction. Let him talk.”
