One star who has a massive fan following is Shahid Kapoor. So much so that the actor practically got mobbed during the shoot of Tips Films 'Kismat Konnection' in Mumbai recently. His fans gheraoed him and brought the shooting practically to a standstill. Thus, the shoot got delayed by six hours. Director Aziz Mirza wanted a scene of Shahid strolling on the road. But the minute Shahid stepped out of his van to shoot the scene; his fans would gherao him, refusing to leave him. Shahid had no option but to step back into his van. The number of fans did not limit to ten or two; there were some 2000 odd people. Neither did director Aziz Mirza nor did Shahid expect a massive crowd to greet him. Shahid was taken by surprise! It was only when the crowd had dispersed that too late in the night that Aziz Mirza could begin the shooting of 'Kismat Konnection'.
