Real
star
Upendra
is
known
to
make
movies
that
stand
out
in
the
film
industry
for
being
different
and
new.
An
important
part
of
his
movies
is
his
appearance
in
it.
The
actor
manages
to
pull
off
a
new
look
in
almost
all
movies
that
he
work
in.
His
next
movie,
which
was
previously
titled
Basavanna,
will
see
the
actor
sporting
the
bald
look
for
the
first
time.
The
movie
courted
controversy
due
to
the
title.
The
Lingayat
community
in
the
state
objected
the
title
of
the
movie.
Basavanna
was
social
reformer
and
his
followers
form
the
Lingayat
community
in
the
state.
The
director
of
the
movie
removed
the
title
of
the
movie
and
is
now
using
the
symbol
as
the
title.
The
symbol
represents
Nandi
or
Basavanna.
While
talking
to
a
leading
daily,
the
director
of
the
movie,
Srinivas
Raju,
said
that
it
took
6
hours
for
Uppi
to
have
the
bald
look.
Initially
the
actor
was
ready
to
go
bald
for
the
role.
However,
since
he
was
working
on
other
movies
simultaneously,
it
was
not
possible
for
the
actor
to
shave
his
head.
The
film
makers
decided
to
use
make
up
instead
to
give
him
a
bald
look.
The
director
added
that
it
took
4
hours
to
put
on
the
make
up
and
another
2
hours
to
remove.
The
make
up
made
it
very
uncomfortable
for
the
actor
to
act
due
to
heat
and
sweat.
But
the
Real
star,
being
a
consummate
professional,
worked
hard
in
spite
of
all
hardship.
Interestingly,
Upendra's
bald
look
will
have
only
40
minutes
of
screen
time.
Kudos
to
the
actor
for
doping
just
a
commendable
job.
