Don't want to play Shahid in different costumes

Shahid Kapoor, who broke out of his chocolate boy image in Vishal Bharadwaj's Kaminey, says he doesn't want to play himself sporting different looks.

"I don't want to play Shahid in different costumes. I hope I can break that. It has happened a couple of times and I hope I can do it once in a while," Kapoor said.

The actor feels that no actor is bigger than the script. "If the script provides you space where you can attempt something new, then one does it. Whenever I get these opportunities, I take them.

"I am neither as established as the three Khans, nor as new as some of the people there right now. I am somewhere in the middle, so I need to balance things out. I need to do different kind of films. I need to do something which is different.

"But at the same time I can't do something so different that people can't connect me with it. So it's a thin line and at the end of the day you will have to choose from the films that are offered," Kapoor added.

"If a script excites me and if a character excites me, I take a leap of faith that I have liked it and now it's up to us as a team to make it a good film."
