The most extraordinary task about the latest released movie PAA was transforming a 67 year old Amitabh Bachchan into 13 year old child Auro. In movie it is shown that Auro is suffering from a rare disorder called Progeria.
Most of the performance comes out because of the make up. Here are some highlights of the makeup of Amitabh Bachchan for this movie PAA:
- The prosthetic makeup has been done by Hollywood’s Christien Tinsley (THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST, CATWOMAN) and Dominie Till (THE LORD OF THE RINGS TRILOGY).
- The cost of makeup was approximately 10% of the total budget of the movie. Total budget of the movie PAA is Rs. 15 Crore. So, budget of makeup is Rs. 1,50,00,000/- .
- Daily, it took 4-5 hours for makeup and then two hours to remove it.
- There are eight different layers of clay which has been put in his make up.
- While applying the make up he cannot eat, drink and talk for 4-5 hours.
- A specially designed denture was worn by Amitabh Bachchan to effortlessly replicate the voice of a 13-year old child. He gets a lisp and his speech pattern gets altered because of the extra teeth.
- Big B has also sung a song in his voice wearing these dentures, which sounds like a child.
The best thing is Big B never ever showed a sign of panic, on the contrary he was always co-operative, patient, cool and full of enthusiasm.
