Comedy
King
Allari
Naresh
will
be
seen
playing
an
extremely
fat
character
in
upcoming
Telugu
romantic-comedy
Laddu
Babu.
Director
Ravi
Babu
says
the
actor
struggled
to
manage
the
prosthetic
make-up,
but
the
result
was
successful.
"Usually
make-up
for
a
role
in
films
last
few
hours
and
days.
But
since
Naresh
plays
an
extremely
fat
character,
we
had
to
use
a
lot
of
prosthetic
make-up.
He
had
to
stay
in
it
for
so
many
hours
in
a
day
and
he
carried
the
look
for
almost
70
days," Ravi
Babu
told
IANS.
"He
literally
struggled
to
carry
the
weight
of
the
make-up
on
his
body.
There
were
times
he
would
fall
off
not
being
able
to
manage
the
weight.
But
he
never
had
a
problem
doing
the
role.
He
was
dedicated
from
day
one
and
successfully
completed
Laddu
Babu,"
he
added.
The
film's
team
roped
in
international
make-up
artists.
"We
brought
in
international
prosthetic
make-up
artists.
We
wanted
his
look
to
be
perfect,
so
we
couldn't
afford
to
take
chances.
I
think
the
efforts
of
our
team
paid
off.
The
film
has
come
out
very
well
and
Naresh's
look
has
also
appealed
to
the
audience,"
he
said.
At
the
recent
audio
launch
of
the
film,
Naresh
sported
the
film's
avatar.
The
film
Laddu
Babu,
which
is
slated
for
release
soon,
also
features
Bhumika
Chawla,
Poorna
and
Kota
Srinivasa
Rao
in
important
roles.
