Akshaye Khanna will be in the most different shape in the upcoming fantasy film Mahakali and his transformation is said to be quite impressive.

He is said to be Guru Shukracharya, the great sage and revered figure of Hindu mythology.

Khanna’s versatility and ability to drop into roles that are not very easy to do has almost nothing to do with him in the new look.

His tough look, bold styling and mythological characterisation have created much interest for the project. The transformation is a new addition to the actor’s extensive filmography.

Mahakali's makers have kept some of the film’s secrets under wraps for the movie’s team, adding to the hype of the project. Rather than releasing the character design as a whole immediately, the team seems to be building anticipation for a big announcement on August 24.

Guru Shukracharya is part of Hindu mythology. For centuries he has been called guru of the Asuras and is associated with wisdom, knowledge, spiritual powers and the legendary Sanjeevani Vidya.

To bring such a complex mythological figure to the screen needs a great performance, costume design, makeup and visual presentation.

Khanna’s appearance indicates that the makers are looking for a grand and visually distinctive portrayal of the character. His transformation is especially striking because the actor has already been praised for playing characters with very different personalities and genres.

So a performance like Guru Shukracharya can become one of the most talked about aspects of Mahakali.

The August 24 reveal will bring the character and movie’s larger tale into focus.

The filmmakers have kept it so quiet about the project but the teaser for Khanna’s appearance has already given fans a sense of scale and the way the mythological story will be told.

With mythology-inspired cinema still drawing in viewers, Mahakali is positioning itself as a project to watch.

An established actor in the form of Akshaye Khanna, an iconic mythological character and a very ambitious visual presentation will make the film very interesting.

But for now fans will have to wait until August 24 for the big reveal. If Khanna’s first-look transformation is any indication, his portrayal of Guru Shukracharya could bring a powerful and unexpected dimension to Mahakali.
