Salman Khan seems to have started the new trend in Bollywood - taking that bald step. After watching Saif in a funky hair-do at Screen Awards, we came in for a bit of surprise when we caught up with the chhote nawab at the Stardust Awards.

The long locks were gone and the head was tastefully shaved courtesy, Aalim, who chopped Salman's hair too.

But Saif new hair-do is not a style statement. He did it for his role in Vishal Bhardwaj's next ‘Omkara' - the celluloid adaptation of Shakespeare's Othello, where Saif plays the character of Cassius.

The film also stars Ajay Devgan is the lead actor in the movie, while Kareena Kapoor plays the character of Desdemona.
