Mumbai, July 24 (Inditop.com) From a glam girl to historical character — Bollywood screen diva Aishwarya Rai has played a variety of roles. Now for “Action Replay” she will don the look of an old woman and director Vipul Shah says he hired a Hollywood make-up artist to get the right make up on her face.
If certain media reports are to be believed, Aishwarya threw tantrums about getting her make-up done by someone other than her own make-up man, but Shah says otherwise.
“Ash did her old age make up with Paul, a Hollywood make-up artist. When we did it the first time, it didn’t work out well. When you are doing age make-up, you can’t correct it so it had to be removed fully and done again,” said Shah in a statement.
The filmmaker, who has made movies like “Waqt – The Race Against Time” and “Singh Is Kinng”, says the actress shot the scenes patiently.
“It took us six hours to got her look right. We started shooting at three in the morning and the shooting went on till 7 a.m.,” he said.
“Action Replay” also stars Akshay Kumar. The story progresses backwards in time.
