Recently the makers of Bachchhan Paandey, had unveiled the raw and rugged look of Khiladi, Akshay Kumar from the film. The actor sports a rugged look - with a scar across his face, bearded and moustachioed, an evil eye and wearing a black shirt, paired with blue denim and heavy gold chains. This particular look was singled upon by the makers, after rejecting 8 other looks.

A source close to the development reveals, "Akshay and Sajid were very keen to try something different for the look of Bachchhan Paandey, so they sat with the creative team to brain storm in order to translate their imaginations of the character's look to the reality.

After trying at least 8 sorts of permutations and combinations, they singled upon this look for Akshay and went ahead with it."
