Akshay Oberoi is turning back the clock for his role in the upcoming pan-India film ‘Toxic’. The actor’s retro look, featuring a classic mustache and vintage hairstyle, pays homage to 1970s Hindi cinema icons like Amitabh Bachchan, Vinod Khanna, Shatrughan Sinha, and Danny Denzongpa.
In an interview with Variety India, Oberoi explained that the styling was more than just a costume choice. ‘The retro mustache and classic hairstyle weren’t just styling choices. They were inspired by the timeless style and charisma of the stars from the ’70s,’ he said.
The actor described the transformative power of the look: ‘The moment I looked in the mirror, I felt transported to another time. The look helped me step into the world of the film and brought an old-school charm to the character.’
Oberoi hopes the tribute resonates with audiences who love classic Hindi cinema. ‘Every detail, from the hairstyle to the mustache, was thoughtfully designed. It’s rooted in nostalgia while still feeling relevant for today’s audience.’
‘Toxic’, starring Yash, is set to release on August 26. Fans are eagerly awaiting more glimpses of Oberoi’s character.
