Actor Salman Khan is known as the trendsetter in Bollywood, be it for movies or making a style statement.

The 'Ek Tha Tiger' star created a buzz with varied looks in the film - long locks, short bangs and beard, as well as a close crop and clean shaven face - setting movie-buffs' pulses racing.

Off late, Salman is sporting yet another new look, which is definitely going to catch his fans' fancy.

Salman in a salt-and-pepper French beard!

This new looks also led people to speculate that this might be his look in the forthcoming film 'Dabangg 2'.

This was the talking point of the press when a gathering spotted Salman with his new beard.

Sallu's best friend-turned-foe Shah Rukh Khan is also sporting a stubble in his forthcoming movie 'Jab Tak Hai Jaan'.

The rugged, bearded and leather jacket sporting SRK reminds people of the suave 'Chak De India' coach.

Even after the movie he had continued the rugged look. And Shah Rukh was the talk of the town whle fans went gushing about his new look.

So who is the trendsetter when it comes to sporting a beard? -  Salman or Shah Rukh?

Of course, SRK had to let go of the beard which he was falling in love with for his next movie 'Chennai Express'.

We don't know if it's sheer coincidence or a fad, but lately most Bollywood actors have been spotted with overgrown beards.

While the two reigning actors of Bollywood are making hairy statement for their respective reasons, we would like to know from you as to who looks dashing in a beard?
