Writer-turned-director Amol Gupte makes his onscreen debut in the film.
Shahid is on a chain of promotion visits and has been noticed marketing the movie alone, without the leading lady.
He explained: 'Me and Priyanka are doing a lot of promotions together and also individually. We are together promoting (the film) and we recently did a press conference in Bangalore.'
'Kaminey' has had its share of controversies too considering a reported on-off relationship between Shahid and Priyanka.
Shahid kept mum on this but insisted that such rumours added to 'pressure' in a celebrity's life and career.
'People say that any kind of promotion is good promotion but I don't personally subscribe to that... The rumours add pressure. It's difficult all the time dealing with all the speculations about your personal life but I guess as an actor it becomes a part of your job... its an occupational hazard. But it's not a great feeling... you have to learn to deal with it,' he said.
'It's ok to be a bit inquisitive about anything (from the media's side) but it's also important to have a little privacy of your own (for actors),' he added.
