New Delhi:
Salman Khan who? Shirtless Shahid Kapoor is winning Instagram after the actor posted a picture of himself taken this morning. Almost 1.5 lakh likes so far (in a little over an hour) and very much counting. Shahid, soon to be 36, lounges on a lawn wearing only jeans, looking decidedly chipper - he's evidently a morning person. Heart emoticons abound in the comments thread. We've been seeing a lot of Shahid Kapoor around recently -
he has a film releasing this week and has been majorly on promotion duty; he also celebrated his birthday a week in advance with a grand party in Mumbai last Sunday. Behold, Shahid Kapoor of this morning:

Shahid Kapoor stars as one-third of a love triangle in director Vishal Bhardwaj's new film
Rangoon, opening this Friday. The setting of
Rangoon is World War II-era Burma and the plot follows three characters whose lives intertwine romantically - Shahid plays Nawab Malik, a soldier who falls for Kangana Ranaut's character Miss Julia, a spunky actress who is already involved with her rather shady producer Rustom Billimoria, played by Saif Ali Khan.
Shahid Kapoor and Vishal Bhardwaj will be collaborating for the third time - Mr Bhardwaj previously directed Shahid in
Kaminey and the acclaimed
Haider, an adaptation of Shakespeare's
Hamlet set in Kashmir.
Shahid Kapoor, last seen in
Udta Punjab as a drug-addicted rockstar, is currently filming director Sanjay Leela Bhansali's period film
Padmavati, in which he plays Rani Padmini's husband Ratan Singh.
