There’s a buzz that Shahid Kapur once cribbed about not getting a chance to work with good actresses since most of them were older than him, were from the previous generation and things like that!

Now since he looks younger than his age, most people felt that he looked best only with the likes of Ayesha Takia and Amrita Rao and not even ex-girlfriend Kareena Kapoor before their sole hit together – ‘Jab We Met’.

But since he can’t be paired with the same girls over and over again, he ended up getting paired with the much older Vidya Balan in ‘Kismat Konnection’.

The on going Airtel cell phone ad films have turned out to be a major boon in disguise of actor Madhavan. His pairing with Vidya Balan in Guru was appreciated for the superb chemistry they shared between them and it has now only got better with the Airtel ads featuring the two together.

The popularity of Madhavan in the Airtel commercials has resulted in a huge turnout of offers from respected makers and top production houses. Madhavan’s career had never really picked up even after a super hit like Rang De Basanti. But now he has makers like Rajkumar Hirani (3 Idiots), Vashu Bhagnani, UTV, Reliance Big Entertainment and the makers of Teen Patti having signed him for their forthcoming projects. Reliance has even signed Madhavan for their Tamil projects.
