Randeep Hooda sparks buzz with bald look tease for upcoming role

Trust Randeep Hooda to shake up your Tuesday scroll. The ever-transformative actor, known for diving headfirst into his roles—mind, body, and soul—has once again ignited a wave of speculation with a single selfie and a perfectly brewed caption:

“What’s the tea for this Tuesday? Coffee isn’t the only thing that’s brewing!”

Posted earlier today on his social media, the image features Randeep with a partially shaved head, a steely gaze, and an air of something brewing—perhaps a role, perhaps a storm. While the post gave away no context, it was more than enough to send fans and followers into full-blown detective mode.

Insiders didn’t stay quiet for long. A source close to the actor confirmed the buzz, sharing that the transformation is part of an early look test for an upcoming project set to go on floors soon.

“Randeep has always surprised both his audiences and the industry with how far he goes to embody a character. This new look is work in progress of something new that is coming up. Randeep always goes to lengths to look the part,” the source revealed.

This wouldn’t be Randeep’s first foray into full-blown metamorphosis. From the haunting vulnerability of Sarbjit to the brooding charm of Main Aur Charles and the gravitas of Swatantrya Veer Savarkar, the actor has made a career out of disappearing into his characters—physically and psychologically.

While the internet buzzes with theories and fan art, one thing’s certain: something intense is percolating in the Randeep’s universe. And if history is any indication, it’s going to be worth the wait.
