Mausam is Shahid's film: Pankaj

Actor-turned-director Pankaj Kapoor admits that the story of his directorial debut Mausam was specifically conceived for his actor son Shahid.

"The film was specifically written keeping Shahid in mind. It's not that I had written the script and then decided on Shahid," Kapoor said at the launch of the first look of Mausam on Monday.

"I had other scripts and we wondered whether Shahid could be part of them or [if] a fresh script should be written for him. We decided to write a fresh script and that's how the birth of Mausam took place."

Mausam, a love story, will see Shahid as a pilot. He has teamed up with Sonam Kapoor in it.

"While writing, there was no girl in my head, it was the character that was in my head. I think Sonam was the very first actress who was approached for the role."
