<p>For Vipul Shah's "Action Replay", Akshay spends at least an hour every morning getting into a 1970s' sporty look without the help of prosthetics.<br />"It's the toughest role I've played. The preparation takes a lot of time. I've Paul Pattison - who did Mel Gibson's look in 'Braveheart' - doing my look. But the effort is worth it. When I look in the mirror after Paul is done, I can't recognise myself," Akshay told IANS.<br />If Akshay promises to look unrecognisable in "Action Replay", Saif's look in his production venture "Love Aaj Kal" shocked his girlfriend Kareena Kapoor.<br />"She couldn't recognise me at first when she saw me as a Sardarji," said Saif.<br />Imtiaz Ali is wielding the megaphone for Saif's production debut.<br />So far we've known only the fact that Saif gets into a Sardarji's get-up in the course of the narration in "Love Aaj Kal". But it's not known that the Sikh character is separate from the protagonist.<br />"The Sardar comes in a story within the story. Yes, I've a double role. The two characters belong to two different time zones," said Saif.<br />"I grew the beard fully. It had to be faked only for one day's patchwork. I give the full credit for the Sardar's look to Dolly Ahluwalia. She had earlier done a great job dressing me up as Langda Tyagi in 'Omkara'. She styled my Sardar's look in 'Love Aaj Kal," he added.<br />Saif hasn't done too many disguises.<br />"But after 'Omkara' I transform physically in 'Love Aaj Kal'. Otherwise I'm not too much into physical makeovers."<br /><br /><br /></p>
