Amitabh Bachchan is playing a 12-year-old progeria patient (a rare disease that causes premature ageing among children) in the movie “Paa”.He says that he had to stick on several pieces of specially crafted clay to get the right look for the movie.“The face that you see is the result of deep research. Kids affected by this problem lose all their hair, become bald and their veins begin to show prominently on their heads, which enlarge to a size beyond normal. Their teeth and eyes suffer also…,” posted Amitabh.
“Eye lids come on close to the eyes, the forehead is another piece, the nose, the two cheeks, the upper and lower lip, the chin and finally the neck all get stuck on and then blended through an intricate electronic spray which merges all the pieces to look like one cohesive mass,” added Amitabh.
The actor says that since they wanted the look to be authentic, he also had to shave off all hair on his hands, arms, chest and legs regularly so they could highlight the veins by colouring them.
“Paa” is being produced under Amitabh’s banner AB Corp and also stars his son Abhishek. In a role reversal of sorts, Abhishek plays Amitabh’s father in the film.
