Director Farhad Samji’s Holi release, ‘Bachchhan Pandey’ starring Akshay Kumar, Kriti Sanon, Jacqueline Fernandez, Arshad Warsi and others features it’s leasing man in an extremely different look.
Speaking about how the look was achieved, Farhad told mid-day.com, “Giving Akshay Kumar a new look is a challenge. He has a stone eye and a rough white-grey stubble. The character is powerful and the name ‘Bachchhan Pandey’ suits him. We just did a photo shoot with the name and Sajid Nadiadwala, Akshay and I, saw the poster and said this name fits the bill.”
