5 days, 50 hours, Anil Kapoor’s salt-pepper look for ‘Fanney Khan’ was no cake walk

Just few days back we came across pictures of Anil Kapoor walking about of a salon sporting a salt and pepper look. Later, it was revealed that he has undergone this transformation for his upcoming film ‘Fanney Khan’. This film, wherein he would be sharing screen space with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, is about an aspiring musician. While his salt-pepper look impressed all, it’s highly commendable to know the efforts the veteran star put in to get the look.

As per reports, it took almost 50 hours for him and the makers to get the perfect look for him. The enthusiastic star visited a salon in Bandra for five consecutive days, trying different looks. He used to spend almost 10 hours in the salon working on his hair. Not just that the veteran star also worked on his physique for this film. Reports state that Anil Kapoor had opted for a leaner look for the film. As he has undergone an ankle surgery, Anil Kapoor had to opt for alternative forms of workouts into his regular fitness regime to get the desired result. It took him almost 4 weeks to achieve the perfect body. (Also Read: When Anil Kapoor’s acting tips turned into his loss, and Jackie Shroff’s gain)

‘Fanney Khan’ will also see Rajkummar Rao in a pivotal role.
