Actor Arjun Kapoor has surprised his fans with a new mohawk-inspired hairstyle, which he aptly describes as an "extreme experiment".

The mohawk is a quirky hairstyle in which both sides of the head are shaven, leaving a strip of longer hair in the centre. But Arjun has kept a crew cut on either sides, making it a subtler version of the classic mohawk.

The 29-year-old actor took to Instagram and Twitter to share an image of his makeover,

He captioned it: "Change is the only constant... #extreme #experiment."

On Twitter, he wrote with it: `The long and short of it."

Arjun, who is still sporting his beard, has however, not clarified whether his look is for a certain film.

In the past, celebrities who have been seen sporting the same hairstyle, include Indian cricketer Mahinder Singh Dhoni and television actor Apurva Agnihotri.
