The 34-year-old "Haider" star has expressed gratitude towards his fans for their constant love and support.
"Wow 8 mil. Gratitude to all. In the jungles of Arunachal with barely any network. Big shoutout. Thank you thank you," Shahid tweeted.
The actor is currently shooting for Vishal Bhardwaj's upcoming period romance drama "Rangoon" with Saif Ali Khan and Kangana Ranaut.
Shahid plays a soldier in the 1940s-set film, which is slated for release on September 30. This is the third time the actor has collaborated with Vishal after "Kaminey" (2009) and "Haider" (2014).
