Actor, producer and director Aamir Khan has now added another feather to his cap by turning into a make-up artist for his upcoming film. For Talaash, Aamir managed to do what no one else could do on sets while shooting a particular scene. He did make-up for a shot in the film for his co-star, Nawazuddin Siddique.
A source informs us, “What happened was, one day when Reema Kagti (director) was shooting for a scene with Nawazuddin, she wanted a bruise mark on his face as the scene required Nawazuddin to sport marks on his face. However, none of the make-up artists present could come up with the exact look that she wanted for the scene.”
Initially, Reema was not at all happy as she felt that his look wasn’t coming across as real. “The bruise was looking too done up and patchy. She did not want to compromise on it since everything in the film had been kept so real, including the shooting locations. Reema was keen on achieving a real bruised look to keep in line with the feel of the film. This made the shoot stall for about two hours, until Aamir stepped in,” the source reveals.
“That’s when Aamir came out of his van and asked why the shoot had been delayed and what’s going on. When he learnt about the problem from Reema, he asked her to just hand him a brush and a palette and let him try! Within a few minutes Aamir did something on Nawazuddin and asked Reema what she thought about the make-up," the source adds.
Much to everyone’s surprise and relief, Reema simply loved it and was ready to go ahead with the shoot. Aamir simply managed to get the real bruise make-up done,” the source further said.
