After Aamir and Ranbir, Shahid to beef up for his period drama Padmavati

Mumbai: After Aamir Khan and Ranbir Kapoor, it's the method actor Shahid Kapoor who will be putting on weight for his epic film, 'Padmavati', directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali.

According to a daily, the versatile actor will be going for an intense workout routine that will help him increase his muscle for his majestic role as Raja Rawal Ratan Singh.

Shahid said, "Since I am playing a Rajput warrior in the film, keeping the time period and look in mind, Sanjay sir suggested to gain muscle to portray such personality. So yes, I am gaining muscle, but not fat for my role in Padmavati."

Be it his bald look in 'Haider' or grunge personality in 'Udta Punjab', Shahid always plays his character very well.
