Bollywood heartthrob Ranbir Kapoor has showcased his flexible dancing skills in many of his songs, but for his forthcoming film "Besharam", he went totally desi for a bhangra number.
Ranbir learned some bhangra moves to get into the groove of a number in the movie, which is directed by Abhinav Kashyap.
The movie will also see Ranbir sharing the frame with his parents - actors Rishi and Neetu Kapoor - for the first time on the big screen. It will release Oct 2.

Parineeti's love for tea canned
Actress Parineeti Chopra loves drinking tea - so much so that her habit has been captured by director Maneesh Sharma in the rustic-looking "Shuddh Desi Romance".
During the shooting of "Shuddh Desi Romance", the actress was often seen taking sips of tea between scenes.
This inspired the director to use this habit of hers for her character in the movie.
Parineeti plays Gayatri in the movie, which also features Sushant Singh Rajput and Vaani Kapoor.
Written by Jaideep Sahni, the movie releases Sep 6.
