Shahid Kapoor, who had the rare experience of flying the multirole jet fighter aircraft F-16 as part of his preparation for the role of a fighter pilot for his forthcoming film 'Mausam', takes pride in being the only film actor to have flown that ultimate flying machine.

"I was quite fortunate that I flew an F-16 fighter plane. I don't think any other actor has ever flown a F-16. Even when actor Tom Cruise had done 'Top Gun' he had flown an F15. I was very fortunate to get that opportunity. It was a very exciting experience for me," Shahid told reporters at the first look of the film at PVR in Mumbai on July 11.

Shahid had flown the American fighter aircraft at the AeroIndia defence exhibition in Bangalore earlier this year.

Sharing his overwhelming experience, Shahid reveals: "Honestly I was not fond of flying in a plane but when I actually sat in it and flew it I was so excited that I started shouting. It was probably the most exhilarating experience one could have. I am someone who loves speed anyway.

"So, the fact that I was sitting in an F-16 and I was a co-pilot was unbelievable. I also went through G force. If you know when you fly such a plane you can go up to G9. G1 is when you feel your body weight; G2 is when you feel two times your body weight. He (The co-pilot) took me up to G6. That's something I would take through my grave with me."

"I think it was required to understand my part better and it helped me to understand what all goes to become a fighter pilot," he added.

Shahid closely followed the mannerisms of the Indian Air Force pilots in the bases he visited and maintains that he is completely in awe of their attitude.

"I visited some air force bases to meet some air force pilots; I sat on the aircraft, I put on the G-suit, observed how they walk with the helmet. All things like that which actually gives you some kind of perspective of what it is to be representing the country and to be the part of the arm force and to be an Air Force pilot.

"It's interesting to know that the value of an air force pilot is Rs.300 crore on an average because that's the money invested to make an air force officer over a period of time. He is an extremely valuable commodity. They are taken extremely good care of. They all met me like 'Oh tu to hero hai, haan thik hai'. They all have this attitude, which is awesome. They are the real heroes," said Shahid.

The directorial debut of his actor father Pankaj Kapur, 'Mausam' is a love story with actress Sonam Kapoor playing the lead opposite him.

"'Mausam' is about season of love. It's about different emotions and different situations that the couple goes through. That's the theme of the film," said Shahid.

'Mausam' is set to release September 16.

Mausam makes me nervous: Shahid Kapoor

Shahid Kapoor has been working with complete dedication on his daddy Pankaj Kapur’s movie ‘Mausam’. This actor avoided starting any other project in between and wanted to completely concentrate on this movie. “‘Mausam’ has a special space in my heart when compared to my other movies, because I am honoured to work with my father. He allowed me to work with complete ease. He was always there for Sonam and me, to share all his experiences with us whenever needed,” says Shahid.
The tagline of the movie is, ‘Love goes beyond romance’, and Shahid claims to be a real lovey-dovey guy. He says, “I need not get motivated by this tagline in real. I am romantic by heart, so love comes and happens naturally to me.”

For the first time ever, this actor seemed to be extremely nervous while the first look of the movie was being launched. “‘Mausam’ is a much awaited film by our family, hence I was slightly nervous and my hands were sweating. But I am happy that all my fans have liked the promos,” says Shahid.
