Shahid's totally cool with going bald for 'Haider'

Shahid Kapoor seems to completely trust director Vishal Bhardwaj's vision. For the director's adaptation of Shakespeare's Hamlet, titled Haider, the usually reserved actor has decided to go completely bald.

Shahid says the decision was driven by the fact that the look is justified for his role in the film.

"I thought it is justified. When I read the script, I found it very interesting and I have tried to do something shocking whenever I have worked with Vishal. With him I have always tried to do something different," the actor said in Mumbai at a promotional event of his upcoming release R...Rajkumar on Friday.

Meanwhile, Shahid also admits that the director's own Kaminey, was undoubtedly one of his finest performances.

"He is a phenomenal director. He has given me Kaminey. It has been the most appreciated role of my life till now. It's great working with him again. It has been a lot of fun," said Shahid.

Haider also features Shraddha Kapoor in the lead, and will release some time towards the end of next year.
