Arshad Khan's latest photoshoot is like nothing you've seen before.
As his fame skyrockets, people left, right and centre find every opportunity to grab on to the new model for their projects and one of them is Lux Style Award-nominated photographer/stylist Azeem Sani who recently had Arshad pose for a 'wet look' photoshoot.
Yes. It actually happened.
"When I told him that we'll be shooting in the pool, he was cool about it," shares the stylist/photographer Azeem Sami. "He said, 'The water will be cold, but I'll do it.' I think wo shalwar kameez pehen pehen ke bore ho gia tha (he was bored of doing shalwar kameez shoots) and wanted to do something different. I shot him for five to 10 minutes in the water and uss ne mujhay tang nahi kia (he didn't cause any problems)."
Still, Azeem thinks Arshad has a long way to go.
"The problem right now is that he's very desi. He has a totally plain look and until someone gives him a proper haircut and wardrobe, he can't be transformed. And he's not easy at all to work with. I had to tell him everything, but he was listening to and understanding what I was saying, so that's good."
Photographer/stylist Azeem Sani weighs in on Arshad Khan's potential, "As people like him and respond to him, Arshad's getting more and more energy. He'll do better with practice."
"I see him doing better in commercials as opposed to modelling. He looks better chalta phirta (while moving). He has great hair, great skin. Shampoo, soap commercials can totally be his thing, even if starts with a small brand."
"He's only 17 years old, I want to see what he's doing five years down. As people like him and respond to him, he's getting more and more energy. He'll do better with practice."
"Yeah, he's probably 17. You can tell from his body, it's like a child's."
We'll let the pictures do the rest of the talking.
Wolverine's got nothing on him, especially with those furrowed eyebrows and water dripping down his beard, neck... chest... everywhere.
Gotta love that smoulder...Tyra Banks would be proud!
And then he decides to channel Hamza Ali Abbasi. We all remember his Jawani Phir Nahi Ani trailer!
Let's just hope Arshad doesn't regret the shoot like Hamza did!
