SLIDESHOW: Check out Shahid’s transformation for ‘Udta Punjab’ in last 2 months
A source from the sets reveals that the 35-year-old actor has lost a lot of weight for the role. "The character is whacko and entertaining. There is one sequence in particular that Shahid's really excited about, an open-air concert with him performing atop a truck, shirtless. The song is a combination of trance music and Punjabi beats. He's shot other interesting concert sequences and had a blast in his rockstar avatar," said the source.
