Bollywood actor Shahid Kapoor is holidaying in Goa before going for a 10-day air force training in Begumpet near Hyderabad, says a media report.
Dad Pankaj Kapoor, always known to work hard preparing for his characters, expects nothing less from his son Shahid for his film Mausam.
Shahid spent three days in Goa with his best friend Sriram. "My best buddy Sriram and I just took off to chill. Needed to relax before I start my Dad's film."
For his role as the air force pilot in Mausam Shahid is expected to leave later this month either for Begumpet on the outskirts of Hyderabad or at the air base in Gwalior to be trained to fly planes.
Begumpet boasts of a private airport closed to public airlines and used for chartered and private aircraft.
Shahid's preparation would now actually entail learning how to fly a fighter plane, the media report said.
Says a source, "Earlier Shahid had hoped only to look convincing an air force pilot. But now he will be learning the behavior and body language of his character from actual fighter planes. He would also be learning the rudiments of how to fly planes so that he would look convincing when he gets inside the plane for the camera."
Though the actual dates are still awaited from the relevant authorities it is reliably learnt that Shahid's training would stretch over ten days in April.
Shahid confirms that he would be going for the air force training. "But I don't know when as yet. We still have to work out the details." he adds.
