Bollywood heartthrob Shahid Kapoor recently treated his fans to a rugged new look in a sunkissed selfie shared on Instagram.

In the picture, Shahid exudes effortless charm, donning grey woolens and stylish sunglasses. Sporting a scruffy beard and an intense gaze, the actor looks straight into the camera, radiating his signature charisma. Captioning the image, Shahid wrote, "Whatever however but blue skies always smiling at you," adding Ella Fitzgerald's classic tune "Blue Skies" as the perfect background score.

Shahid Kapoor is gearing up for a gripping role in Vishal Bhardwaj's upcoming thriller. He will portray gangster Hussain Ustara, a complex character defined by his ruthless exterior and personal code of honour. Co-starring Triptii Dimri, the film has Shahid undergoing rigorous training to do justice to this layered role.

A source close to the project revealed, 'The gangster was a layered personality, defined by his ruthless exterior but driven by personal codes of loyalty and honour.'

Shahid was last seen in the romantic comedy 'Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya' alongside Kriti Sanon. The film showcased him as a robot scientist who develops unexpected feelings for a female robot, played by Sanon.

The actor is also set to appear in 'Deva', an action-packed thriller directed by Rosshan Andrrews. The movie, co-starring Pooja Hegde, revolves around a brilliant yet rebellious police officer uncovering a web of deceit while solving a high-profile case.

Known for his engaging social media presence, Shahid often shares glimpses of his life with his fans. Just last month, he posted a shirtless seaside selfie, captioned, 'Sweat sun sea,' showcasing his laid-back yet striking persona.
