He has had the audiences as well as critics raving about his performance in 'Badmash Company' as the street smart Karan, who can do a con Job with a finesse and who changes disguises at the drop of a hat.

For the Bollywood heartthrob Shahid Kapoor, wearing so many disguises for his role in the Parmeet Sethi-directed film was an exciting experience.'The disguises are the best part of the film. I had so much fun doing them,'' says Shahid, who has appeared in several disguises in the film, where he plays a con operator.

Talking to UNI, Shahid said, ''We actually did all 8 or 9 disguises within 3-4 days! It was so exciting to do so many, by the end of it we actually ran out of ideas!.'' He, however, gave credit to his make-up man for successfully bringing out these Disguises on screen.

''Vidya dada who is on make-up, was responsible for all the disguises. I just had to sit patiently and he made it all happen. He did a brilliant job, all the credit goes to him,'' Shahid said.

Shahid, who features in the film alongside Anoushka Sharma, Vir Das and Myeng Chang, says that it was the innovative and brilliant scrip of the film, coupled with the fact that it was from the Yashraj banner, that led him to agree to do 'Badmash Company'.

''When Adi (Aditya Chopra) gave me the script of 'Badmash Company', I found it extremely fresh, extremely young, extremely entertaining, very simple yet very effective. Infact, by the end of ten pages I was hooked. The film is about four characters -- Karan (Shahid Kapoor), Bulbul (Anushka Sharma), Chandu (Vir Das) and Zing (Chang).

These are the four people who come together to form the Badmaash Company and perform all the con jobs. They are an extremely relatable foursome. If you are a group of 5-7 people, each one of you will be able to identify with one of them.

''Also, the cons are so simple, I was irritated that I did not see them! They are there in front of your face and you don't see them.

It takes a con artist like Parmeet Sethi to see them and come up with scams like that! With so interesting characters, extremely fresh dialogues, con jobs which I have not seen in any other film, but yet very easy to understand, I could not see any reason why I shouldn't be doing the film,'' Shahid said.

An added attraction, he says, was working with Yashraj films, with whom he has done 'Dil Bole Hadippa' earlier.

''YRF is made of a set of really professional people who know what they are doing. They have some very efficient people who bring in a lot to the film. For any new director, it is a great asset to work with a production house like Yash Raj, because you know that there is a certain amount of quality as far as production and organisation is concerned. I have always had a lot of fun working with Yashraj, I have no complaints. Infact, I had a lot of fun during Hadippa, I had a lot of fun with this one too,'' the actor said.

'Badmash Company' has also evoked a lot of curiosity for the excellent camaraderie that comes across in the film between Shahid, Anushka, Vir Das and Chang.

''I don't think this movie would have been what it is without the other three. I have learnt so much from them even though they are relatively newer than me. All of them have done an absolutely terrific job. It's so nice to see all of them do such good job, who are just starting out but are so natural, so candid and so confident.

I don't know if I was so confident when I did my second film,'' Shahid says.

He is all praise for his co-star Anushka, for whom this is her second film after 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi'.

''Anushka is doing something so different from her first film, I am very happy that for her second film, she chose this script. Inherently, it is very easy to repeat something that has been successful but she is breaking the mould and I really appreciate that about her. I found her to be a very natural actor, very unassuming, she just goes with the flow which really works for her,'' he said.

Doing the film may have been fun for Shahid and his co-stars but the actor says he was a bit uncomfortable doing the intimate scenes with Anushka in the film.

''As great as it might look on screen, it is very uncomfortable experience for the actors. There are many people on the set.

However, its just another day at work and that's how you have to look at it. The reason that I did it in this film was because both the situations that come in the movie are very cute and happen in the life of every teenager,'' Shahid said.
