On the sets of Rahul Dholakia's Lamha, Dutt put on an old, worn out face, complete with a salt and pepper beard.
But as he moved on to his next project a month later -- Soham Shah's Luck -- Dutt put on a fresh and younger face.
Designed by hairstylist Aalim, Dutt shows off a cool haircut now (on the left).
The Luck team will leave for a 10-day shoot to Cape Town, South Africa, and then to Bangkok. Soham had earlier directed Karan Johar's production, Kaal, in 2005.
The film marks the debut of Shruti Haasan (Kamal Haasan's daughter). Imran Khan, Mithun Chakraborthy, Danny Denzongpa, Ravi Kissen and Chitrakshi also star in the film.
