The 35-year-old actor, who is reteaming with Vishal Bhardwaj for the period drama, is receiving praise for his stint as a drug addict rockstar in his forthcoming project "Udta Punjab".
"Morning tweeps. Last day on #Rangoon trailer launch of #UdtaPunjab big day. Feeling the vibes," he posted on Twitter yesterday.
On his on-screen rockstar look where he is seen sporting
long hair and tattoos on body, Shahid said, "Abhishek Chaubey was concerned with what I was doing with my hair we had discussions over it and then things worked out. I did not want to get a body of a body builder I wanted it of someone who has abused himself. We worked a lot on that."
"I think good and new stories needs to be told. If you don't do it that way then you will never be able to discover things yourself and never be original. I feel new things are always risky," he said.
"The story of the film is honest and the intention of the film is to give message to audience." he added.
The film features Shahid Kapoor, Diljit Dosanjh, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Alia Bhatt in key roles.
