Big B to dye beard, hair for Boodha

After retaining the same look for past 11 years, Amitabh Bachchan has suddenly turned experimental about his looks.

First he decided to sport a trimmed beard and new hairstyle in AarakshanBoodha, Big B will dye his beard and hair into a trendy colour, which is yet to be decided.

According to insiders, Big B would either sport a red-tinted beard and hair in the movie — which will be directed by Telugu maverick Puri Jagannath — or it could be various flamboyant colours.

When contacted, Jagannath said: “That’s right. Bachchan sir is going totally psychedelic for his part in Boodha. You see, he plays a man who is 60 but believes he’s still 25. So he moves around dressed and made up like today’s youngster. And if anyone calls him a boodha (old man) he is livid. He will be dyeing his beard and and now for wig.”

Even the clothesline for Big B in Boodha would be in keeping with his character of a man of 25. Apparently, the megastar would be borrowing accessories from his son Abhishek’s wardrobe.

The film will go on floors next month.
