Joining the big league: Shahid Kapoor to undergo physical transformation

Shahid Kapoor is undergoing physical changes for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s next venture “Padmavati” to fit into the shoes of the character.  The actor is essaying Deepika’s husband Raja Ratan Singh, the king who couldn’t win against Khilji, and Padmavati ended up committing jauhar (self-immolation).

Seems Shahid is catching up with the latest fever in the Bollywood which is griping almost every movie star these days.  

Recently, Aamir Khan shocked everyone with this amazing body transformation for “Dangal”. Last to last year it was Ranveer Singh, who transformed himself completely to play Peshwa Bajirao for Bajirao-Mastani. 

The “Kaminey” actor said that he was gaining muscle to get the perfect look for his character in the film.

On media reports which said the actor was gaining weight for the film, Shahid clarified, "Since I am playing a Rajput warrior in the film, keeping the time period and look in mind, Sanjay sir suggested to gain muscle to portray such personality. So yes, I am gaining muscle, but not fat for my role in 'Padmavati'."

The film had faced protest during the shooting in Rajasthan by a regional political group.

To a question if the director planned to bring any changes in the script of the film after the protest, Shahid said, "All I want the film should get completed and people should want it and decide on what the film is. I will be resuming for shooting soon."

Shahid was present at the launch of the premium innerwear brand Eazy by Sirtext as a brand ambassador.

When asked if the actor was planning to bring his daughter for her first public appearance, Shahid said,"Hopefully I will be sharing some more pictures of her, may be on my birthday!"
