Without a question, Bollywood produces some fantastic stories and films. The actors’ makeup and transformation skills, however, add to the film’s realism. They are sometimes unrecognizable, which is the appeal of the flicks.

There have been films in which the actor had to sit patiently through the full makeup process, most often every day before a shot. It took them about two hours to complete the entire process. The level of commitment is mind-boggling.

Here are some of the most important makeup makeovers in Bollywood:

1. Amitabh Bachchan – Paa

Auro or Paa was played by Amitabh Bachchan. A child who has Progeria, a life-threatening condition. Christien Tinsley (of The Passion of the Christ fame) and Dominie Till were among the makeup artists on the set (of The Lord of the Rings fame). The makeup look was challenging to achieve, but I managed it. The film was nominated for a National Film Award for its make-up work (2009).

2. Rajkummar Rao – Raabta

Raabta, on the other hand, did not perform as well as expected on the big screen. Rajkumar’s makeup, on the other hand, was meticulously applied. He was a 34-year-old man in the role. A cosmetics company from Los Angeles worked on it, and he was completely unrecognizable as a result. Even if you looked at his character for an extended period of time, you wouldn’t be able to tell it was him. Zuby Johal was the artist that worked on it, and he did an amazing job.

3. Kamal Haasan – Hindustani (Indian)

In this film, Kamal played two roles. So, obviously, the makeup had to be flawless. He had to morph into a 70-year-old for roles in the film, which was released in 1996. Michael Westmore and Michael Jones, both makeup artists, worked on their looks. It was well worth it since Kamal went on to win the National Award for the film.

4. Rishi Kapoor – Kapoor & Sons

In this film, Rishi Kapoor played a 90-year-old grandfather. Because that managed like excellent wine, the main goal was to make him appear older than he was. Here, Greg Cannom worked as a makeup artist. The make-up was flawless.

Rishi Kapoor played a 90-year-old grandfather in this family drama, and his charming antics were brilliantly assisted by his excellent make-up, which appeared entirely genuine. And it was all thanks to make-up artist Greg Cannom, who also happened to win an Academy Award for Vice at the 91st Academy Awards.

5. Shah Rukh Khan – Fan

In this action thriller, Shah Rukh Khan plays a dual part, changing his appearance to play an infatuated fan. While SRK is no new to playing ‘obsessive’ roles, his artistic change was owing to Greg Cannom, who also worked on Rishi Kapoor’s appearance in Kapoor & Sons.

Mrs. Doubtfire, a Hollywood film, served as inspiration for the picture. The principal actor had to play a lady, which necessitated a great deal of on-point cosmetic expertise to make it look realistic. Michael Westmore, who earned an academy award for his cosmetics work, did an outstanding job.
