It
is
learnt
that
it
used
to
take
three
to
four
hours
daily
for
Amitabh
Bachchan"s
makeup
to
be
done
for
his
film
Paa.
The
prosthetic
makeup,
as
we
know,
has
been
done
by
Hollywood"s
Christien
Tinsley
(The
Passion
Of
The
Christ,
Catwoman
and
other
films)
and
Dominie
Till
(The
Lord
Of
The
Rings
trilogy).
Our
sources
reveal,
"On
one
occasion,
when
the
film
was
being
shot
in
Delhi,
Bachchan
had
to
report
for
his
makeup
at
2
o"clock
in
the
morning
for
a
6
o"clock
shift.
What"s
worth
noting
is
that
the
superstar
landed
in
Delhi
the
previous
evening
and
had
to
attend
a
dinner
party
at
close
friend
Amar
Singh"s
residence.
He
returned
to
his
hotel
room
well
past
midnight
and
got
barely
an
hour
to
sleep
as
he
had
to
be
with
the
makeup
artiste
and
the
prosthetic
people
at
2
a.m."
Our
source
further
adds,
"Since
Amitabh
plays
a
13-year-old
in
the
film,
he
used
to
spend
most
of
his
time
on
the
sets
with
kids
rather
than
with
other
unit
members.
While
dubbing
his
dialogues,
he
used
to
wear
his
dentures
(with
broken
teeth)
which
he
has
worn
in
the
film
so
that
he
could
get
the
correct
childish
accent,
probably
with
a
lisp."
