Shahid Kapoor's 2007 film Jab We Met, directed by Imtiaz Ali, is a significant turning point in his career. Despite the movie being primarily based on Kareena Kapoor Khan's Geet, the female lead, Aditya Kashyap is adored by audiences. Shahid knew Kareena's part had greater significance than his when he first read the script. Nevertheless, he approved of the movie since, in contrast to many other Hindi romantic dramas, he thought it showed lovers "normally."

Shahid stated in an interview that he was a fan of Jab We Met's script from the beginning. "I absolutely adored the script when I first heard it," he declared. I lacked the strongest component. Even though I was aware that the female character in the movie had the strongest role, I still wanted to be in it.

 

"I felt it was a very contemporary, new age love tale," the actor continued, "where people were speaking like how normal people in their 20s communicate, and not how people in their 40s playing to be 20s in movies speak. Imtiaz created something that was incredibly relatable and honest. I had a great time watching it and wanted to include the movie in my filmography.

Geet (Kareena), a vivacious, full-of-life girl, meets the melancholy Aditya (Shahid) on a train in the movie Jab We Met. They both miss their train, so she drives him to Bhatinda, Punjab, where she is from. The movie had a strong emotional impact on the audience and was a tremendous hit. The soundtrack from the film is still well-liked today.

 

There have recently been whispers of a movie sequel. However, these were refuted by the filmmaker Imtiaz Ali in an interview. Numerous supporters were disappointed when he said, "No, it's not happening."
