Get your green rubberbands ready, we might just be witnessing the birth of a new trend.

Shah Rukh Khan [Images] seems set on giving Aamir Khan [Images] a run for his gimmicky status.

Aamir moustache'd it for The Rising, Shah Rukh stuck one on for his upcoming Paheli [Images].

And while Aamir's long locks were the talk of the town, now we see SRK [Images] with a ponytail, tucking his backbrushed hair neatly into a green rubberband.

Shah Rukh's latest look made heads turn at Mumbai's J W Mariott hotel on Wednesday night.

The star was the chief guest at a function celebrating 100 days of the Punjabi movie Des Hoya Pardes, starring Gurdas Mann and Juhi Chawla [Images].

Now be prepared for the surge in Bollywood ponytails!
