Unperturbed by box office duds post Kaminey, Bollywood actor Shahid Kapoor is looking forward to the release of Badmash Company and his father Pankaj Kapoor's directorial debut Mausam.

     

"If an actor keeps thinking about flops, he may not be able to give positivity to his next project which could turn out to be a bigger hit," Shahid told PTI.

     

"If you have to survive, you can't look backward. The only option is to look forward and contribute to the next project rather than wasting time on what is already over and done with," he said.

     

The actor is not bothered by the fact that his subsequent films – Dil Bole Haddipaand Chance Pe Dance after the critically-acclaimed Kaminey, sank at the box office.

     

The 29-year-old, who won accolades for his double role in the Vishal Bharadwaj movie, says he does not believe in talking too much about his earlier hits.

     

"By looking back at a successful film, you are allowing it to go into your head," he said.

     

The audience is always right and if they reject a film, something has to be wrong with it. I prefer talking about it behind closed doors with my directors," he said.

     

"Presently, my focus is on Badmash Company, and I would put it behind after its release on May 7 to concentrate onMausam, which goes on floors May-end," he said.

     

Shahid, who plays the lead in his father's movie, is paired opposite Sonam Kapoor.
