Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor will soon be seen donning a turban in his upcoming comedy movie 'Besharam' directed by Abhinav Kashyap, according to media reports.

Kapoor had earlier featured as a Sikh for the movie 'Rocket Singh: Salesman Of The Year' (2009).

Going by media reports, Kapoor will be wearing the turban for a sequence of the song 'Aa Re Aa Re' in the movie.

However, recalling the Sikh community's objection over Akshay Kumar starrer 'Singh is Kinng' (2008), because of the fact that he had sported a trimmed beard while playing a Sikh; 'Besharam' producer Himanshu Mehra informed that Kapoor will not be playing a Sikh but will just wear a 'pagdi' for the song sequence.

"Ranbir is not playing a Sardar in the film, but only sporting a pagdi for this song. In fact, the song is one of the highlights of the film and Ranbir has sported the pagdi with a great sense of pride, so we don't think anyone should have an objection to that. We are sure once they see the whole song, they will all understand what we are talking about,` Mehra was quoted as saying by Zee News.

He said, "It is in no way aimed to offend anyone or any community. I think it's an honour to sport the pagdi and we have treated it with due respect too and we hope people realize that."

`The song is a fun number not meant to hurt anyone's sentiments,` said Mehra.

The song sporting 250 dancers has been choreographed by Chinni and Rekha Prakash and was filmed at Chandigarh

The movie features Ranbir Kapoor as Babli, Pallavi Sharda as Tara, Rishi Kapoor as Inspector Chulbul Chautala, Neetu Singh as Head Constable Bulbul Chautala and Javed Jaffrey.
