Akshay Kumar not really known for experimenting with his looks, has gone for a very stylish look for Yashraj Film's movie 'Tashan'.

Sources from YRF say it was producer Aditya Chopra who pressed Akshay to abandon his long-kept look and go in for a short haircut and designer stubble. Despite some initial hesitation, Akki did agree to get the new look.

And now the result is a raw, rugged and macho look that looks extremely good on the actor with a naturally well-built physique. To add to the appeal, Akki has colored his hair in streaks of brown. Only his salt and pepper stubble gives away his age.

According to a source, ‘Tashan' will redefine Akshay's onscreen image. The movie also stars Saif Ali Khan , Anil Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor. ‘Tashan' will mark the directorial debut of scriptwriter Vijay Krishna Acharya.
