Kangana bids adieu to long tresses for 'Rangoon'

Not many actresses have guts to chop off their hair for a role. Most of them prefer wearing a wig, but Kangana Ranaut has parted her ways with her beautiful locks for her role in the upcoming flick 'Rangoon.'

The 28-year-old actress is the first among the contemporary lot of actresses to have cut her hair so short for her role in the Shahid kapoor starrer.

Her character Julia, an actress from the World War II era, is partly inspired by Marilyn Monroe and she will be seen wearing halter neck maxi dresses, red lipstick and portray the ultimate seductress.

Stylist Adhuna Akhtar helped Kangana achieve the desired look with soft curls since cutting her long curly tresses was a lengthy process.

As the film is set in the World War II era, there were no electronic rollers available during that time to make things easy. So, to maintain the feel and look of that time, the team had to use old techniques to give her hair those soft curls.

Directed by Vishal Bhardwaj, the flick also stars Saif Ali Khan.
