New Delhi:
The squeaky clean, chocolate-boy version of Ranbir Kapoor who dropped his towel in Saawariya is ancient history. This is the all new Ranbir, as will be seen in new film Barfi!, releasing in September this year.
Ranbir's character in the film sports a tiny braid with gold highlights down the nape of his neck. A brave look to pull off, and we think Ranbir does it well.
Pics: Ranbir sports a teeny-weeny plait for Barfi!
This isn't the first Ranbir's experimenting with his look. He wore a beard and turban for Rocket Singh: Salesman Of The Year...
... an unkempt, straggly style for Rockstar...
... and will wear an earring in Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani, currently filming, in which he stars opposite ex-girlfriend Deepika Padukone.
Ranbir is only one of a breed of heroes who are willing to take risks with the way they look on screen. SRK had a distinctly unflattering curly pate in as Shekhar Subranium in RA.One, a mustache added gravitas to Shahid Kapoor's Air Force officer in Mausam, and Akshay Kumar not only boasted a luxuriantly hairy moustache, but also a wardrobe of acid brights in the recent Rowdy Rathore.
Lastly, a special mention for Aamir Khan, the master of reinvention. Aamir's been aggressively mustachiod in Mangal Pandey: The Rising, shaven headed and tattooed in Ghajini, and a '70 style disco dancer complete with exposed hairy chest in Delhi Belly.
And he's doing it again in Talaash, releasing this November.
