This is how Amitabh Bachchan became Auro

The most Herculean task about the latest release PAA was transforming a 67-year old Amitabh Bachchan into 13-year old child Auro, suffering from a rare disorder called progeria, so come let’s take a short run- through over how Amitabh became Auro.

The prosthetic makeup, as we know, has been done by Hollywood’s Christian Tinsley(THE PASSOIN OF THE CHRIST, CATWOMAN) and Dominie Till( THE LORD OF THE RINGS TRILOGY)

According to the reports, Bachchan’s makeup sums upto a total of 10percent of the total budget.

It is learnt that it used to take four to five hours daily for Amitabh Bachchan’s makeup to be done for his film PAA. There are eight different layers of clay which has been put in his makeup in the film.

Not only this, it used to take four fours to put on the makeup then two hours to remove it. But “Big B” never ever showed a sign of panic, on the contrary he was always co-operative, patient, cool and full of enthusiasm.

While applying the makeup, he cannot eat, drink and talk for hours. Big B wore especially designed dentures so as to effortlessly replicate the voice of a 13-year old child.

Most of the performance comes out because of the makeup.

Let’s give the director and the Actors a big hand
