Akshay Kumar gets a cool makeover in Desi Boyz

While the shooting for Akshay Kumar's Desi Boyz is in full swing, debutante director Rohit Dhawan is working very hard to ensure that his first venture Desi Boyz becomes a super duper hit.

Rohit Dhawan has reportedly brought in designer Kunal Rawal to style Akshay Kumar in Desi Boyz. Kunal, who was styling AK for the first time was excited about presenting the actor in a sexy avatar.

In the last few years, Akki hasn't really cashed in on his looks, and Kunal wanted to change that. Here's what B-Town folks had to say about Khiladi Kumar's new avatar in the promo of the film.

Deepika Padukone, Actress
I have always found Akshay to be a very sporty and good looking. His fitness is unique and like this athletic and sporty way of keeping fit. He is looking very good in our film Desi Boyz.

Sonam Kapoor, Actress
I love Akshay's new look in Desi Boyz! My friend Kunal Rawal has designed it and I think Akshay looks spectacularly sexy in that look. I give it two thumbs up!

Shirish Kunder, Producer
In an era when practically everyone has 6-packs, courtesy steroids, Akshay is a huge inspiration for all the youngsters as to what could be really achieved with a healthy lifestyle and natural workouts.

Farah Khan, Director
Akshay has always been sexy. He doesn't have to redefine hotness. Like there was Dharamendra today we have Akshay.

Ana Singh, fashion designer
He is very good looking, conventionally handsome and can carry most clothes effortlessly. He looks great in formals casuals and basic stuff.

Vikas Mohan, Trade analyst
After Shah Rukh Khan, it is Akshay Kumar who has the second highest fan following in the overseas market because of his hotness quotient. He looks charming and exceptionally hot in Desi Boyz, where he plays a naughty, flamboyant guy. This film is going to bring him back in a very big way.

Krishika Lulla, Desi Boyz producer
I have been flooded with messages in my phone inbox and receiving compliments from my friends who have seen the first DB promo.

Desi Boyz, which is being produced by Krishika Lulla, is the story of two men who are forced to do something extremely bizarre which gives them instant gratification. However, the repercussions tear them apart and its aftermath tests everything including their friendship.

Desi Boyz has Akshay Kumar, John Abraham, Deepika Padukone and Chitrangda Singh play the lead roles.
