Shahid Kapoor is growing a beard
these days as the actor is simply prepping up for a role in Vishal
Bhardwaj’s Rangoon. Set against the backdrop of the Second World War,
this Casablanca-like love triangle has Shahid playing an army officer.
The beard is integral to his look. The film also stars, Kangana Ranaut
who plays an actress from the ’40s, while Saif Ali Khan is to be seen as
a filmmaker.
Rangoon is a dream Vishal has
been nurturing for the last seven years, his most ambitious film to
date. Shahid is known to be a `method’ actor who preps up for months for
a character he’s playing for reel.
For Vishal’s earlier film
Kaminey, he had to go shirtless and race with the horses in one scene.
Since the character, Charlie, was lean, mean and a tough guy from the
streets, the actor worked with his trainer for almost eight months, five
days a week and two hours a day, for a chiselled, sinewy physique and
the run of a sprinter.
Immediately, after the film’s
release, he went into a two-month overdrive to pack an eight-pack for
his next musical. More recently, he shaved off his hair for a scene in
Vishal’s Haider which required him to go bald, then grew it back, only
to dye it red, for the upcoming Udta Punjab.
Shahid’s spokesperson confirmed
that the beard is for Rangoon.“There was a lot of pressure on him to
hold off growing it but he doesn’t like paste-up jobs and wants to be
ready with a beard of his own when the film rolls in October,“ adding
“He’s really excited about reuniting with Vishal again.“
