Shahid Kapoor will be opting for a new long haired look for his upcoming project, a musical to be directed by Ken Ghosh for UTV.

The music video maker had turned filmmaker with Shahid's debut film, Ishq Vishq and had followed it up by bringing Shahid – Kareena Kapoor together for the first time with Fida. Confirming the news Ken stated that the project is on and Shahid is indeed making changes in his physical appearance.

While Ken refuses to divulge any further details, our sources inform us that it is an out and out dance film which will be on the lines of a larger than life Broadway musical. The Jab We Met star is all set to fly abroad to learn different dance styles as well as work on his body to make it look like a trained dancer. He is also sporting a six pack for a dance sequence which will be choreographed by a Hollywood dance specialist.

Shahid Kapoor had first sported long hair for a soap detergent TV commercial way back in 2001. It featured him in two looks – one a long haired one and other in a trimmed look. The actor, post his Jab We Met success, has become extremely choosy and aims to do only one film at a time, a close pal of his revealed to us. "That is why he is taking liberty to experiment with his looks," the friend added.

Presently Shahid is looking forward to the release of Tips films Kismet Konnection opposite Vidya Balan directed by Aziz Mirza. The film is set for a July 18 release!
