Indian actors have been using prosthetics to completely transform their looks. Rishi Kapoor did it in Kapoor & Sons, Akshay Kumar in 2.0 and Amitabh Bachchan in Paa.
Now Rajkummar Rao has done it for Dinesh Vijan’s Raabta, which stars Sushant Singh Rajput and Kriti Sanon, where he plays a 324-year-old tattooed old man. He is seen in a blink-and-miss appearance in the recently released trailer of the film.
It was a challenging process as Raabta’s creative team, Vijan and Rajkummar reportedly had to go through 16 look tests before they finalised the main look. A makeup team from Los Angeles along with Zuby Johal of Dirty Hands did the rest. The actor had to undergo five to six hours of prosthetic every day to get into his character and work on his body posture and voice modulation, along with wearing plenty of accessories.
Rao took to his Twitter account to share a picture of his character and wrote, "And here is my Guest appearance from #Raabta."
