Tashan (2008) is an Indian Hindi-language action comedy film that features Akshay Kumar as Bachchan Pande , a "desi wannabe gangster"
The Look: Kumar’s performance was defined by a rugged, rustic style that contrasted sharply with the slick, urban persona of his co-star, Saif Ali Khan.
Character Archetype: Bachchan is a "desi wannabe gangster" who works as a trusted aide for the eccentric antagonist, Bhaiyyaji (played by Anil Kapoor).
Tashan was a major fashion milestone for Akshay. Moving away from his traditional "action star" image, he experimented with a rustic yet stylish look designed by Aki Narula.
