Mumbai, April 26 (IANS) Actor Rahul Roy, who has been away from celluloid for some years now, will soon be seen in an untitled film under his banner Rahul Roy Productions. For this, the actor has chopped off his long locks.
Ever since the actor made his debut with "Aashiqui" in 1990, he kept his tresses slightly long. The film's success not only made Rahul a star overnight, but his hairstyle became a rage among the youth.
It is only now that he has opted for a change.
"If after 23 years, I am changing my look, there would definitely be a reason behind it. There is a character which is fascinating me. I am wanting to do that character and so for that, I have cut my hair and have changed my look," Rahul said here in an interview when asked about the new crew cut.
"It's about time because the kind of films that we make today, I was wanting to get something that I could do," added the 45-year-old.
Last seen on the big screen in 2006 film "Bipasha - The Black Beauty", the actor refused to reveal any more about his new film.
