Akshay Oberoi's hair journey: Film roles vs. reality

Akshay Oberoi recently shed his long hair, which was grown for a period film set in pre-Partition India. Unfortunately, this film's funding fell through, leaving the actor disheartened but hopeful for its future. He has since cut his hair to prepare for the upcoming fourth season of the popular web series 'Aashram,' which recently began filming, with Oberoi joining soon.

Looking ahead, Oberoi is also part of the highly anticipated film 'King,' releasing on December 24. This marks his third Christmas release, a coincidence he shares with actors like Aamir Khan. Oberoi expressed surprise and delight at this comparison, seeing it as a full-circle moment in his career.

Before 'King,' his film 'Love Lottery' is set for release on September 18. The movie features a remarkable 6.5-minute emotional monologue from Oberoi. He emphasized the film's relevance, particularly its focus on women's empowerment and the emerging need for discussions on men's rights, portraying his character as a vulnerable hero.
