It was reported that Ranbir was growing a beard for Yash Raj Films' Shimit Amin (Chak De India and Ab Tak Chappan) directed Rocket Singh since he is playing the role of a Sikh character. He didn't intended to expose his new look to everyone so soon and kill the curiosity surrounding his ‘hatke' venture.
Apparently, according to media reports Ranbir even backed off from performing at an International film awards function as that would mean his look would be seen across the globe.
But well when poor Ranbir went on to exercise his right of voting to a Pali Hill polling station, the present media literally had him making a quick exit since he didn't want to be caught on camera for a long time.
His efforts ended in vain as the present electronic media just didn't allow him an easy escape and thus he got caught on camera But he kept walking hastily as the TV journalists were asking him questions.
But must say, he does look really cute with the beard.
