Old on....thats Aamir Khan, Amitabh Bachchan and Shahrukh Khan!! Yes, these famous faces are virtually unrecognizable under mounds of makeup and prosthetics. Off late Bollywood isn't only going thru a change with the variety of movies its churning out but also it is literally changing the way our stars look. Thanks to globalization of artists and cutting edge special effects which provide for these unconventional looks.
Forty Four year old Aamir's stunned everyone when he appeared in a Tata Sky digital TV Ad playing an old (70+) sardarji. This came right after another commercial where he plays both a husband and wife discussing who should be watching TV.
Anyone who has seen R.Balki's movie "Paa" would have had a hard time believing that the 12-year old protagonist Auro who suffers from a rare age-accelerating disease Progeria is played by Amitabh Bachachan. With the help of Hollywood makeup artists the 68-year old vetran actor essayed the character a 12 year old boy who looks 65!. The look created waves in Bollywood and definitely set a new standard.
As the saying goes whatever anyone in Bollywood can do SRK can do better! The King Khan Shahrukh Khan who is going strong at 44 recently dawned the look of a 75-year old man for a TV Commercial for Dish TV where he is seen romancing actress Tanvi Azmi. This is not the first time Shahrukh has been made to look old for a character as many would remember the movie Veer Zara where he played Veer Pratap Singh.
These collaborations definitely keep the audience looking forward to path breaking performances as their favorite stars down new avatars.
