Actor Shahid Kapoor received rave reviews for Udta Punjab for his performance as a singer, Tommy Singh, who is addicted to drugs. The actor transformed himself to fit the role of a singer and drug addict. Now, a leading international lifestyle channel that is making a documentary on how film actors prepare for their roles, has approached Shahid.
They want to showcase how the Bollywood star transformed himself, from the beginning to the end, for his role in the film. The show will also comprise the journeys of other foreign actors.
A source says, “The show’s makers heard about Udta Punjab, watched some portions of it, and decided to approach Shahid to share his experiences of playing such a character. They were surprised to learn that a teetotaler like Shahid played the role of a drug addict.”
Apparently, the character took a toll on Shahid mentally and also physically, as he had to build a more muscular physique for the part. Will Shahid be a part of it? We'll let him answer that.
