"Being emphatic about his role, Shahid happily shaved his head off for just one scene in Haider. He went ahead with the decision despite knowing that he wouldn't be able to work on his next project till the hair grew," said a source close to Shahid.
Haider, an adaptation of Hamlet, is part of director Vishal Bhardwaj's Shakespeare trilogy after Maqbool (Macbeth) and Omkara (Othello).
"The scene was canned by Vishal in Srinagar in March," said the source.
As expected, with the bald head, it was not possible for the actor to ahead with his next project - Shaandar. Hence, he took a break and said that it was not a big deal for for him.
Now, after a three months' halt, Shahid is finally ready to shoot for the movie with director Vikas Bahl and actress Alia Bhatt.
