Did you know?: Shahid is getting a tan for his new film!

The 32-year-old is trying to achieve a skin colour three shades darker than his original.

Actor Shahid Kapoor is soaking in the sun to get a tanned look for his upcoming movie Rambo Rajkumar. And this isn’t the first time he’s tried to pull this look off.

Even though he has donned a chocolate boy look in movies such as Ishq Vishk, Vivah and Kismat Konnection, it was his chiseled body and rugged look for the character of Charlie in 2009 movie Kaminey, that created a lot of buzz.

This time around, the 32-year-old has tried to achieve a skin colour three shades darker than his original so that his look is in perfect sync with the character. He’s also sporting a stubble to achieve that perfect biker boy image.

“Shahid never sported a stubble and thus, his look has been appreciated by many. In fact, he has started liking the look himself now. Wherever he is going, people are giving him compliments on his look,” a source said.
