Bollywood
superstar
Amitabh
Bachchan
will
be
playing
a
12-year-old
boy
suffering
from
progeria
in
Paa.
It
is
a
rare
disease
that
causes
premature
ageing
among
children.
Big
B's
look
has
been
so
specially
created
that
at
first
look
it
is
impossible
to
identify
him.
Amitabh
had
to
had
to
stick
on
several
pieces
of
specially
crafted
clay
to
get
the
right
look
for
the
movie.
International
make-up
artist
Stephan
Dupuis
did
the
special
look
for
Big
B.
The
actor
wanted
to
share
his
excitement
and
posted
the
first
poster
of
the
film
on
his
blog.
Big
B
quotes
“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
and
hence
the
special
teeth
as
dentals
that
were
worn
by
me."
He
also
said
“Around
eight
pieces,
specially
designed
through
laborious
clay
models,
are
most
meticulously
stuck
on
to
the
face.
Once
the
make-up
starts,
it
is
impossible
to
move
even
a
few
centimetres.
Eating
and
drinking
has
to
be
avoided
and
you
cannot
talk
because
it
displaces
the
pieces
over
the
contours
of
the
face.
Separate
pieces
form
the
entire
look.
Two
small
holes
are
bored
into
the
skull
so
some
sound
can
go
through.
Also
when
you
speak
it
reverberates
inside
the
skull
and
you
constantly
feel
you
are
inside
a
tunnel
with
pronounced
echo,"
"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," concluded
Amitabh.
The
R
Balki
directed
Paa
is
being
produced
under
Amitabh
Bachchan's
banner
AB
Corp
and
also
stars
his
son
Abhishek
Bachchan.
In
a
role
reversal
of
sorts
Abhishek
plays
Amitabh's
father
in
the
film.
The
movie
which
also
stars
Paresh
Rawal
and
Vidya
Balan
will
hit
the
theatres
on
the
4th
of
December.
