Anil Kapoor in a Burqa!

Anil Kapoor recently found a novel way to conceal his identity in public.

If you are a famous Bollywood star, then walking openly on the streets of old Delhi can create a riot. So when Anil Kapoor went to the crowded bylanes of old Delhi to do his research for a role in Subhash Ghai’s movie Black And White, he decided to hide under a burqa.

But he obviously could not conceal his manly figure.

When the locals saw a man walking around in burqa, they got suspicious. Apparently, an alarm was raised and a few policemen also came to the spot. Anil Kapoor gathered pace to keep the people off his trail, but he couldn’t.

Before things could get unsavory, one of the assistants with Kapoor raised the veil and revealed Anil Kapoor’s identity to the locals, who were baffled to see the mustachioed star behind the feminine burqa.

That day, Anil had to give up his research. But he returned next day. This time he was wearing a full-mask helmet with tinted wiser.

The shooting of Black And White will begin in the coming days. The film has Anil playing a character from old Delhi. Anil is working with Subhash Ghai in this film after a gap of six years since Taal.

Interestingly, whenever Ghai has made a movie with Anil in one of the lead roles, the film has gone on to become a hit at the box-office. Let’s see if Black And White meets with the same fate.
