New Delhi: Bollywood veteran star Anil Kapoor recently sported a spunky look with a cool new hairstyle and the internet couldn't stop talking about it. The dashing star will next be seen in Anees Bazmee's 'Mubarakan' which also features Arjun Kapoor in the lead. 

"I am playing a sardar in the film. I will start shooting from January 14. Arjun has already started shooting for the film," IANS quoted Anil as saying on the sidelines of Stardust Awards on Monday night.

Talking about his new look, Anil revealed that director Bazmee turned down his swanky hairstyle. "I was trying this look for 'Mubarakan'. I was trying different looks for the film... It's one of them, but my director Anees Bazmee rejected this look. He said I have to play the role of a sardar, who wears a turban," said the actor.

"Mubarakan" also features Ileana D'Cruz and Athiya Shetty in key roles.
