Ah see I think I have enjoyed Aziz Mirza films in the past but I can't don't remember them anymore :S So my attraction to KK wouldn't have been because of the director in any case.

Oh you might be right then about Shahid taking this up post-JWM but...hm I just thought he would have personally chosen some other 'serious' role instead of the next fluffy movie that came his way? Seems to be he wants the chance to prove he has acting chops now that JWM has been critically acclaimed. But then again what do I know? Maybe KK isn't just some fluffy movie?
