The actor who is currently shooting for his father Pankaj Kapoor’s directorial debut film ‘Mausam’ even had the nerve to make some fun before taking the F-16 seat. Shahid said that being inside F-16 is less difficult than disobeying Pankaj Kapoor. In the film Shahid plays the role of a fighter plane pilot and the producer and the director of the film wanted him to have the first hand experience in being inside a fighter.
Prior to the flight on the fourth day of the five-day biennial mega air show, Kapoor underwent mandatory health check-ups and was found fit to fly in the combat aircraft.
"It`s a huge honour and privilege to fly such a magnificent aircraft. I wanted to have real-time experience of flying a fighter before action in the movie," the 30-year-old actor said.
After completing the spin and being air-borne for an hour the elated and excited actor stated that the pilot of the F-16 Super Viper even allowed him to control the stick of the plane and they went up to 10,000 feet. Shahid was thrilled to be inside the fighter while it did the dog fights and even maneuvered the plane 360 degree. Well this was really an awesome experience that Shahid Kapoor will cherish all throughout his life.
