Akshaye Khanna’s Shukracharya look sets grand tone for ‘Mahakali’
Akshaye Khanna’s first‑look as Shukracharya in ‘Mahakali’ has been released. His striking mythological transformation has impressed fans, with early reactions highlighting the scale and ambition of the film’s aesthetic.
Khanna undergoes a dramatic physical shift for the role, sporting a long silver‑white beard, matted hair tied into a topknot, traditional attire and prominent tilak markings, leaving him almost unrecognisable as Shukracharya. The teaser further introduces the battle between Dharma and Adharma and expands Prasanth Varma’s cinematic universe, positioning Khanna’s character as a central force within the film’s world‑building.
