Imagine Akshay stepping into wardrobes across the world, reimagined in Russian, Brazilian, Chinese, South Korean, Saudi Arabian, and a few more global avatars. In each frame, his features were transformed by the region, and he was dressed in traditional costumes and accessories inspired by the region's traditions.

What would Akshay Kumar look like if he were not from India, but…

For his Russian look, Akshay was given a rugged look with a white complexion, trimmed white beard, blonde hair, and blue eyes. He wears a heavy, charcoal-grey wool coat, a muffler, and a sweatshirt as the snow falls around him.

One of the most striking looks the actor was transformed into was the Nigerian look, where he is seen in a bold printed traditional ensemble paired with a traditional cap and statement jewellery.

For the Nepali look, AI reimagined the actor in traditional Nepali dress, along with a cap and a beaded necklace, as he stood against the serene, prayer-flag-lined hills, radiating a peaceful, mountain-inspired glow.

For the Mongolian look, Akshay turned fierce in a battle-stricken avatar with a rugged brown complexion, long hair tied in a braided updo, long beard, and traditional Mongolian dress. Meanwhile, for his Australian look, Souvik used AI to give the actor a sun-kissed tan skin, trimmed beard, and blonde hair.

As a Saudi Arabian, Akshay was dressed in traditional attire from the country, including a loose-fitting, long white robe called a thawb and a red-and-white keffiyeh.

Meanwhile, as a South Korean with subtle changes to his features that matched the Southeast Asian look, Akshay transformed into a K-drama actor. He wore a sharp black suit in this look. For his American and Canadian look, he wore a jacket over a tee, with dirty blonde hair and a trimmed salt-and-pepper beard.

As a Brazilian and Mexican, Akshay looked smart with his lightly tanned skin and black tresses styled in a side parting. Lastly, to look like a Britisher, Akshay underwent a sharp transformation, with olive skin, dirty blonde locks, and a trench coat paired with a grey tuxedo.

How did the internet react?

Fans loved the global looks and dropped compliments in the comments. One user wrote, “He looks good in any form.” Someone else commented, “Australian akshay kumar look like Nanami from JJK anime.” A fan wrote, “British, Canadian and Saudi Arabian are my favourites.” Another remarked, “Akshay Kumar sir, as a South Korean, is the best.”
