Shahid Kapoor on actors bulking up for action movies: We've crossed those cliches

An actor doesn't have to become "big and brawny" to play an action hero, says Shahid Kapoor, who believes even a regular-looking man can appear tough on screen.

Shahid, who features in Ali Abbas Zafar's crime thriller "Bloody Daddy", said the film is the first out-and-out action movie of his career of over two decades.

"I have done action in the past like 'R... Rajkumar', 'Kabir Singh' is a love story but it had its beats of action. 'Haider' had a little bit of action and 'Udta Punjab' was a very intense character, but this is the first time I'm getting into proper action," the 42-year-old actor told PTI in an interview.
