"SO .. the early start is a nightmare for the prosthetic made up guy .. shot to be taken at sun rise by 6.30 am , means in the make up van at 3.30 am !!"
Big B further revealed what difficulties he experienced while shooting in prosthetic makeup in such scorching heat, and how his lower back hurt due to the walking posture of his character, an old man named Mirza.
".. the prosthetic make up is always an issue during hot weather .. it tends to melt away the sticking glue and destroy the prosthetic .. adequate care on set was taken then to keep the face cool .. its a requirement from the make up department .. one that I abhor .. the cooling systems on set , yes provide the air conditioned air , but then with the frequency of shots the continuous in and out of the cool into the heat is a bad precedent for me .. either I remain cool or remain hot .. and if this can be called a metaphor, a figure of speech, it is completely unintended .. !!"
"… and yes when the entire shoot day is with that awkward walk .. the lower back simply breaks down .. cant sit cant lie down .. cant do nothing .. pain killers not allowed .. pain relieving sprays , be just sprays with no effect .. !!"
"So want to be an actor..get on with it..and stop complaining!" he concluded.
"Gulabo Sitabo" is slated to premiere on Amazon Prime Video on June 12. The Shoojit Sircar directorial also stars Ayushmann Khurrana.
