Ranbir’s a Rocket

Yash Raj Films’ Rocket Singh-Salesman Of The Year rolled on May 2 with lead actor Ranbir Kapoor playing a Sikh,complete with turban and beard. Ranbir,who started growing his beard about three weeks before the shoot,looks princely in his new avatar.

The young Kapoor is half-Sikh as his mother Neetu Kapoor is from a Sikh family. The film also marks the coming together of Chak De! India director-writer combination of Shimit Amin and Jaideep Sahni in this comedy.

The film which is presently being shot in Thane,Mumbai,is scheduled for a December 2009 release.
