Shahid, however, has kept mum on his role. Sanah, who made her Bollywood debut alongside her actor brother and father in 'Shaandaar', praised his new look for 'Rangoon'.

"He is looking smart. He has got the soldier look because he is playing a soldier in the film. I am very excited to watch him," the actress told reporters here at the red carpet of Stardust Awards.

Shahid, 34, will be sharing screen space with Kangana Ranaut and Saif Ali Khan in 'Rangoon'. Kangana plays a 1940s actress in the love story, set against the backdrop of the World War II.

Meanwhile, Sanah is thrilled with audience's response towards her work in 'Shaandaar'.

"It feels amazing that the support everyone has shown. It feels fantastic, I am so thankful to everyone."

She added the support of her sister-in-law Meera, helped her deliver a good performance in her debut film. "We get along like a house on fire. She is really happy (with Sanah's performance in 'Shaandaar'). She has been a big help in everything," Sanah said.
