Akshay Kumar is almost unrecognisable in new pictures from the film Robot 2.0.

Akshay is seen sporting long eye bushes, grey hair and a feathered leather jacket.

According to reports, Akshay Kumar’s character in Robot 2.0 is that of Dr Richard, a scientist, who turns into a crow after a freak accident during an experiment.

The film is a sequel to Rajinikanth’s hit film Robot (Enthiran).

Though Akshay Kumar has starred in several South film remakes, this is the first time that the action superstar will be seen playing a mainstream role in a Tamil film, where he will be seen at logger heads with Rajinikanth in high-octane action scenes.

The film also stars Amy Jackson and will release in 2017.
