Nick Jonas is seen for the first time on the set of musical comedy Power Ballad in County Dublin as his character is mobbed by excitable fans

Nick Jonas was seen on the set of upcoming musical comedy, Power Ballad, for the first time this week. 

The singer, 31, who is starring as a rock star in the film, was mobbed by fans while strolling down the street during the scene. 

Filming kicked off in County Dublin on Monday, with Nick wearing a cream Aran knit jumper and a wax Barbour jacket. 

Nick, who recently buzzed off all his curly hair for the role, topped off his look with a green tracksuit, white trainers and a tweed flat cap. 

The film, which also stars Paul Rudd, is described as a musical comedy from writer-director John Carney (Once, Sing Street) about a wedding singer, a rock star and the song that comes between them.

The project is set to be shopped at the Cannes Film Market later this month.

Peter McDonald (The Bachelor Weekend) wrote the script with Anthony Bregman and Peter Cron producing through his Likely Story.

They will produce with Robert Walpole and Rebecca O’Flanagan for Treasure Entertainment.

Last month, Nick shared an update on Instagram with some changes to his life, including buzzing off all his curly hair.

The popstar uploaded six new snaps that were all captioned, ‘Lately,’ the first of which showed a selfie when he had longer curly hair.

The second showed a hand holding clippers over his head, while the next showed him holding his daughter Malti with the new shorn look.

He also shared a brief video of him teeing off at a windy golf course, with the last slide showed him enjoying a pint of Guinness.

It seems the new shaved head look was for a movie role, which his wife Priyanka Chopra revealed in her own Instagram post.
