Kunal Kapoor has got rid of his trademark beard for his role in 'Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana' and says that he is open to don even an unglamorous look for a film
'The director told me he wanted to cut my hair and beard, which I had... He wanted to try something new. There is a whole new look in the film,' said Kunal.u00a0'For me, the character is the most important. Whatever the script needs, we should do that. We should not think that just because a village setting or an NRI setting does well, we should take it up. Whatever the script needs should be done. I feel that this is the only way to make the film honestly and successfully,' he added.
