With time we have realised that actors who alter their look and get into the skin of the role are so much more visually appealing than the one's who hardly take any efforts to bring about a change at all.
Transformations, and brow-raising ones, are the latest in-thing in Bollywood and most of them must be appreciated as it helps us in relating to the character is a better way.
From Aamir Khan to Ranbir Kapoor, every other actor is taking up challenging roles and transforming themselves and honestly, we can't complain.
If noting else, the mere visual element of surprise hooks and lifts the expectations of fans.
Be it losing or gaining weight or devising a different look altogether, a transformation is worth it.
Another celebrity who discerns the importance of a transformation has jumped onto the bandwagon and it is none other than famous filmmaker Vikram Bhatt.
That’s right! The filmmaker who ventured into the world of web-series recently and has helmed projects like Gehraiyaan, Maaya and Twisted looks nothing like he did before!
Vikram has given up the usual salt and pepper hair and beard look and has coloured his mane black and is now sporting a young look!
The filmmaker recently took to Instagram to document this change with a collage of his new and old avatar and asked, “What do you think??”
Not just that. The filmmaker also posted another picture of himself sporting the new look and asked, "Black or white??"
But why this transformation?
Well, according to SpotboyE.com, the filmamker is sporting the look for his upcoming web series Zindabad, where he will be seen acting and sharing screen-space with Sanaya Irani.
Vikram Bhatt's recent Instagram post says a similar story. He shared a photo of Sanaya on his Instagram handle, wherein he can be seen on projector screen.
He captioned the image as, "Me sharing screen space with @sanayairani!! Woah!! Lady luck doth smile on me."
Is that a hint?
Apart from Sanaya, the thriller will also star Pankaj Dheer, Sana Khan and Aniruddh Dave.
