Shahid Kapoor on Shandaar co-star: Big compliment for Alia to be compared to Kareena

Reacting to the constant comparisons being made between his Shaandaar co-star Alia Bhatt and ex-girlfriend Kareena Kapoor, Shahid Kapoor said, "It is a big compliment for Alia that we are talking about similarities between her and Kareena." While speaking at the trailer launch of the movie, he added, "I think there are no comparisons or similarities as they both are different and both have done phenomenal work. Both are fantastic." Shahid and Kareena will be seen together in Abhishek Chaubey's Udta Punjab, which also stars Alia. It will be the former couple's first film since their break-up in 2009 but they are not sharing screen space in the movie. The story of Shaandaar revolves around the wedding of Alia's elder sister, where Shahid plays the wedding planner. Shaandaar will hit the screens on October 22.
