Will Vidya Balan Be Sans Make Up In ‘Begum Jaan’?

We have seen actors and filmmakers going to great lengths to make their characters and film look authentic. The same has been adopted by National award-winning director Srjit Mukherji, who is making his directorial debut with ‘Begum Jaan’. In order to keep the look of the characters authentic, the director advised the cast of the movie to use minimal make up.

Srijit was the task master and would notice if any of the girls tricked him by turning on the sets in evidently caked-up face. “It became a ritual for a few days. I was like a school teacher who would check make-up and nails. I used to sit with wet tissues and wipe off all the extra make-up. Since the story is set in a different world, I didn't want them to have heavy make-up and manicured nails,” he said.

He would check everyone’s make up before the shooting. ‘Begum Jaan’ which is set in the backdrop of late Indian Independence period of 1947 is the Hindi adaptation of his Bengali film 'Rajkahini'. The movie features Vidya Balan in the lead role who will be seen essaying the role of a brothel's madam. It is expected to hit the screen on April 14, 2017.
