An actor doesnt have to become big and brawny to play an action hero, says Shahid Kapoor, who believes even a regular-looking man can appear tough on screen..

Shahid, who features in Ali Abbas Zafars crime thriller Bloody Daddy, said the film is the first out-and-out action movie of his career of over two decades...

I have done action in the past like R Rajkumar, Kabir Singh is a love story but it had its beats of action..

A remake of 2011 French film Sleepless Night, the movie stars Shahid as Sumair, who faces off against Gurugrams white-collar drug lords, deceitful friends, a ruthless crime boss, murderous narcs, and both corrupt and honest cops all during one fateful night...

So we wanted to attempt that, the actor said.. Bloody Daddy also features Diana Penty, Sanjay Kapoor, Ronit Roy, and Rajeev Khandelwal in pivotal roles..
