MUMBAI: Trade analyst Girish Wankhede has reacted to social media chatter suggesting that Shahid Kapoor’s stardom is over following the reported box office failure of his recent release ‘O Romeo’.

Responding to netizens who claimed Shahid’s career is finished, Wankhede dismissed the criticism, and called it as merely a passing phase.

“I call it a phase. No one’s stardom is over like this. When a movie is released and becomes successful, people forget everything else and the flops. When Shahid Kapoor's Kabir Singh came, people took him seriously. But when now Deva flopped and O Romeo has turned out to be unsuccessful, people started writing him off.”

Nothing succeeds like success. When Shahid Kapoor’s next movie will be released, and if it turns out to be a super hit, the same people who are doubting his stardom, will forget all their complaints and consider him as a star back again, ” he said.
