Mumbai, June 6 (IANS): Actor Shahid Kapoor met and interacted with doctors as preparation for his role in the forthcoming movie "Kabir Singh".

The actor said interacting with experts gave him a deeper understanding of the craft.

In the film, Shahid will be seen playing the role of a surgeon. As part of his preparation, Shahid spent hours at hospitals so that he could observe their procedures in order to get the nuances right.

"Kabir Singh is an accomplished surgeon -- perhaps the best in his field. So the mannerisms and actions needed to be precise," Shahid said in a statement.
