Actor Shreyas Porus Pardiwalla says he likes to change his look according to the roles offered to him.

“With every new project, I love to adopt a new look. I always enjoy doing different characters so that I can also experiment with my looks,” Shreyas said in a statement.

“In my next film ‘Sanam Re’, I chose to go for a mature look. I chopped off my hair and sported a clean shaven look.”

And now, he has short hair and a full grown beard.

“It is for the lead role in Jeff Goldberg’s play ‘The Importance of Being Earnest’. I will play Algernon Moncrieff, a loud upper class English man from the Victorian Era.”
