Shahid Kapur has got a new look. Or rather, he has gone back to his old look. Shahid had been sporting a moustache for some time now.

The character he is playing in his father Pankaj Kapur's directorial debut Mausam, required him to look mature. But now that his scenes in the film have been shot, he has gone back to his clean-shaven look. But interestingly, Shahid seems to miss his moustache.


Mausam, in which the actor plays a pilot, is the first film for which he is going to sport a moustache. While Shahid initially toyed with the idea of sporting an artificial moustache, Pankaj suggested that he grow a real one.

Shahid liked the idea. He was reportedly inspired by Mr Perfectionist Aamir Khan, who grew a moustache for his role of Mangal Pandey in The Rising. Anyway, Shahid is missing his 'macho' look. " Feels weird without it now," he says.

With Mausam , Shahid joins the league of actors such as Shah Rukh, Aamir, Salman and Akshay Kumar who have sported moustaches in various films. While Salman will be seen with a moustache in Dabangg, Aamir had one in The Rising. Shah Rukh had a moustache in Paheli, Swadesh and Army while Akshay sported one in Sangharsh.
