Shahid Kapoor will be opting for a new longhaired look for his upcoming project, a musical to be directed by Ken Ghosh for UTV. The music video maker had turned filmmaker with Shahid's debut film, 'Ishq Vishq' and had followed it up by bringing Shahid-Kareena Kapoor together for the first time with 'Fida'. Confirming the news Ken stated that the project is on and Shahid is indeed making changes in his physical appearance. While Ken refuses to divulge any further details, reliable sources inform us that it is an out and out dance film, which will be on the lines of a larger than life Broadway musical. The 'Jab We Met' star is all set to fly abroad to learn different dance styles as well as work on his body to make it look like a trained dancer. He is also sporting a six-pack for a dance sequence, which will be choreographed by a Hollywood dance specialist.
Shahid Kapoor had first sported long hair for a soap detergent TV commercial way back in 2001. It featured him in two looks - one a longhaired one and other in a trimmed look. The actor, post his 'Jab We Met' success, has become extremely choosy and aims to do only one film at a time. At present, Shahid is looking forward to the release of Tips' 'Kismet Konnection' opposite Vidya Balan directed by Aziz Mirza. The film is set for July 18th release! After delivering super hit of the year 'Race', Ramesh Taurani's Tips Films' 'Kismet Konnection' is already being touted in the trade as one of the biggest films to release this year. With the winning team of 'Race' behind and the magical combination of Shahid-Vidya to be paired together for the first ever time on celluloid, all eyes are on 'Kismat Konnection' now.
