A day after team Bachchan Pandey commenced the shoot of the film in Jaisalmer, Akshay Kumar shared his new look from the film on social media. The actor, who will co-star with Kriti Sanon and Arshad Warsi in the Farhad Samji-directed film, posted a picture of himself from the set, in which he can be seen sporting a rugged look - a scar across his face, bearded and mustachioed, an injured eye and wearing a black shirt, paired with blue denims and heavy gold chains. His expression is intense. We can also see a crew member holding the film's clapboard in the picture.
Sharing the photo, Akshay Kumar wrote: "New year, old associations...begun shooting for #BachchanPandey, my 10th film with #SajidNadiadwala, and hopefully many more. Need your best wishes" and then asked his fans: "Do tell me your thoughts on the look."
Bachchan Pandey is being produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, with whom Akshay Kumar has worked on several films but more on that later.
Take a look at Akshay Kumar's post here:
