According to Indian media sources, Kapoor’s look in his upcoming movie “Barfi” is similar to his grandfather’s famous look. Earlier, Raj Kapoor adapted an appearance of Charlie Chaplin, by putting thin moustache, umbrella and a floppy hat in Shree 420 and now Kapoor is portraying the same looks without moustache.

Speaking to media Director Anurag Basu said, “I can say his character is like that of Raj Kapoor, Charlie Chaplin and Roberto Benigni. The shades are similar to the lovable tramp, much like you have seen these actors portray with ease. They mesmerised audiences with their charm and simplicity.”

Sources said, “When Anurag was designing Barfi’s look, he wanted a very innocent and loveable appearance. He instantly thought of Kapoor sir in Awara and Shree 420 and his look was also believed to be a take on Chaplin’s.”

Barfi is a romantic comedy, featuring Kapoor along with Priyanka Chopra.

The movie is scheduled to be released on September 14.
