Upen Patel will be off to South Africa soon for the shooting of Suneel Darshan's yet untitled film with Bobby Deol and is very excited about it.

"Suneel Darshan is one of the most talented directors. I'm so lucky to be working with him. He has made the careers of Akshay Kumar and Bobby Deol," he said excitedly.

Upen will be sporting a super short hairstyle for the film, looking very much the style icon that he is.

"I play a very hip character in the film and am going for this short crop look," he said.

Suneel Darshan is apparently so impressed with Upen's fashion style that he has given him the freedom to style his own look in keeping with the character.
