Shakib Khan’s South Indian Hero-Inspired Look Is Turning Heads Online

After staying out of the public eye for almost two months, Shakib Khan re-emerged in Dhaka, flaunting a bold new look that could easily be interpreted as being synonymous with that of a South Indian film hero.

With a well-grown beard, a casual cap, and large sunglasses obscuring most of his features, he was barely recognizable at first glance. But after a second look, it became clear that it was only Dhallywood superstar Shakib Khan.

Since the release of his film ‘Toofan’ during Eid-ul-Azha, the actor had remained out of the public eye. The film received immense attention both domestically and internationally, becoming an industry hit less than a month after its release.

While ‘Toofan’ fever gripped audiences across the world, Shakib was busy minding his personal affairs in Dubai and the US.

According to reports, Shakib Khan returned to Dhaka last Thursday morning after spending almost two months in the United States. He was greeted at the airport by actor Alexander Bo, who captured the first glimpse of Shakib’s new look in a selfie that quickly made waves on social media.

Insiders suggest that Shakib’s new style is for his upcoming film, ‘Borbaad’. Helmed by Mehedi Hasan Hridoy, the film’s shooting is expected to begin in early October, with Idhika Paul taking on the female lead role.
