Anil Kapoor who has time and again set an exemplary example of reinventing himself despite his superstardom, now steps into the shoes of an aspiring musician in KriArj Entertainment & Rakeysh OmPrakash Mehra's 'Fanney Khan'.

While the star has everyone intrigued with his new look in the film, what very few know is that it took over 50 hours to finalize his salt-pepper look in the film.

The actor went all out to get his look just right for Fanney Khan and after several creative discussions with the makers of the film finally zeroed in on the look. The star visited a popular salon in the suburbs for 5 days at a stretch, clocking in over 10 hours each day to work just on his hair.

Since he had to essay the role of the lovably flawed and rough around the edges Fanney Khan, the star also had to go lean for his look. What's more is that since he recently suffered from an ankle injury, he had to incorporate alternative forms of workouts into his regular fitness regime and took over 4 weeks to achieve the desired results.

All praise for the superstar says producer Arjun N.Kapoor, "Anil Kapoor plays a character who celebrates the extraordinary in the ordinary and hence looking the part was extremely crucial. He managed to pull it off beautifully and continues to inspire all of us with his dedication and passion."

Bhushan Kumar says, "Anil Kapoor is an actor par excellence who gives his 200 percent to any character he portrays. The love and passion he has for films is visible in the time he has invested to get his look right and the dedication he has shown to get the perfect physique."
