In a marked departure from his usual good-boy roles, Shahid Kapoor will play an anti-hero in Vishal Bhardwaj's Kaminay.
Says a friend of Shahid, "Every day in the morning, he asks Vishal, 'so what's the new bad thing I will do today?' In the film, Shahid plays a stylised bad guy who loots, steals and gambles. Upto now, the actor has always played the nice-guy-next-door and Kaminay is completely opposite to what he's played earlier."
The friend adds, "Normally, Shahid likes to take a break for every film. But this year, has been different. After Ken's film he went straight to a workshop with Vishal Bhardwaj and now he's shooting for Vishal's film. After that, he starts Yashraj's next.
In fact, Shahid, who is in Pune shooting for Kaminay, went a day earlier to acquaint himself with the race-track and the people around. He shot a scene where he's betting at the track and another, where he commits a robbery. For Shahid, it was a complete revelation; he has never stepped into a race course in is life."
His friend adds that Shahid's having a blast working with Vishal. "He's getting to learn so much from him. Also, Shahid has also been working out for his character. Apart from long hair, stubble and goatee he's sporting a lean, wiry frame for the film. He is all set to do some heavy-duty stunts and action scenes for this love story with raw and gritty action."
