This summer, if you come across some fully tonsured old man, which also includes his eyebrows, just take a closer look because it could be none other than Amitabh Bachchan himself who has donned this unique look for his forthcoming film ‘Pa’ directed by R. Balakrishnan aka Balki. The film also stars Abhishek Bachchan and Vidya Balan.
The storyline of the film has been guarded secretly but if rumors are to be believed it deals with the story of a child who ages much faster than any normal child would do. The surprise element of the film lies in the fact that Amitabh Bachchan will be playing Abhishek Bachchan and Vidya Balan’s son in the film.
Recently, the team carried out the shoot of the film in locations of Delhi, whereby, a team of highly qualified make up experts worked on Big B’s look for a whopping 6 hours at a stretch and the results were more than satisfactory when Big B’s fans failed to recognize him in the getup of the bald old man.
It so happened that when some locals got to know that Amitabh Bachchan was shooting there, a huge crowd accumulated but after a long wait they returned frustrated and dejected cursing the unit for spreading false rumors.
Balki confirmed the news saying, “Yes, it’s true. Fans of Amitabh came rushing when they heard he was shooting in a school nearby. The fans stayed for two hours, loitered, went around him and went away complaining that there was no Amitabh. They just couldn’t recognize him.”
