Anil Kapoor removes chest hair for tattoos in new movie

MUMBAI, India (AP ): Veteran Bollywood actor Anil Kapoor shaved off his chest hair and got tattoos for a new movie in which he plays a villain, a news report said Thursday.
In his earlier movies, Kapoor often proudly showed his hairy chest.
"But reinvention and makeovers have been part of my acting repertoire long before they became fashionable,'' The Times Of India newspaper quoted Kapoor as saying. The movie "Tashan'' (Showoff) is being produced by Yashraj Films, one of the Bollywood's top production houses.
Kapoor, 44, recalled that he had put on a lot of weight for "Badhai Ho Badhai'' (Congratulations) and lost a lot of weight for "Musafir'' (Traveler) earlier.
His role in the new movie required him to get rid of his chest hair and get tattoos for the character.
"I have got them done on back, chest, you name it,'' the actor quipped.
"For every part that I play I want to create a new look for my character,'' Kapoor said.
Kapoor has acted in more than a dozen blockbusters, including "Mr. India,'' "Tejaab'' (Acid) and "1942: A Love Story.''
