Shedding his chocolate-boy image, Shahid Kapoor is in the mood to embrace a Rambo avatar. When most actors are sweeping off fans with high-octane action roles, Shahid clearly doesn't want to be left behind. A snapshot of his look in Prabhu Deva's upcoming Rambo Rajkumar that was posted on Twitter reveals Shahid flaunting sinewy biceps and a six-pack.
The twin failure of Mausam and Teri Meri Kahaani has obviously triggered the image makeover. Both films cast Shahid in the lover boy mould and sank without a trace. Shahid reinvention of image seems natural considering Prabhu Deva is known for his action-dominated blockbusters.
The trade is keenly waiting to see if Rambo Rajkumar has the same effect on Shahid as Prabhu's earlier Hindi films had on their respective heroes. While Wanted catapulted Salman to the top, Rowdy Rathore gave Akshay the biggest hit of his career.Rambo Rajkumar, which has Sonakshi Sinha opposite Shahid for the first time will see him in an out-and-out action role.
