After sporting a chocolate boy image in Bollywood debut 'Student Of The Year' (SOTY), Siddharth Malhotra will be seen breaking this mould in Ekta Kapoor's 'The Villain'

His look is being re-styled.

"The Villain" team wants Siddharth to look tough, mean and mildly stubbled. The look requires him to look brawny and even sport a different hair-do, said a statement.

"Siddharth's look is been worked upon right now. There are look tests which are happening. He will be seen in a different genre of film. Hence, his look is of uttermost important," said a source.


So far eight to 10 looks have been tried on the actor, who was earlier a model in Delhi.

Balaji Motion Pictures and director Mohit Suri are keen to position Siddharth as the quintessential mass hero in the film, set in Mumbai.
