Superstar Amitabh Bachchan does not mind using prosthetics
for a role, but tells using it for long gets tiring.
"As the days pass by the comfort in the portrayal gets
to be in an ease that shall be so needed in the final rendition... but yes the
prosthetics take their pound of flesh, and to underestimate its after effects
would be a fallacy," Amitabh Bachchan wrote in his blog.
"In the land of the large movie making industry in the
West, there are rules that using prosthetics by law cannot be kept on for more
than three days... a break for the face for a day or two before going at it
again... But here, it is non-stop one month... was the same with 'Paa'.. no
complaints... it's just that the bearing shall become tough as the days go
by," revealed Big B.
Amitabh Bachchan feels prosthetics "do a very good and
successful job". "The make-up artists, that eventually are all
imported from across the Oceans... we will learn in time," he said.
It seems Big B was talking about shooting of "Gulabo
Sitabo". He is sporting a grumpy old man's look. In the first look, the
76-year-old thespian is seen sporting a long beard, spectacles, a head scarf
and a prosthetic nose, which made Big B almost unrecognisable.
