If you're willing to watch, I'll come back next year and give back the Razzie." And that was not her only Razzie!

Say Hi to Auro…….Making of PAA


The most Phenomenon task about the latest release PAA was transforming a 67-year old Amitabh Bachan into 13-year old child Auro, who is suffering from a rare disorder called progeria. The makeup of Amithab has been done by Hollywood's Christien Tinsley and Dominie Till. According to the reports of Bollywood,Bachchan's make-up had cost 10 per cent of the total budget. It has taken four to five hours daily for Amitabh Bachchan's makeup for the Auro character in his film PAA. That’s not over; it used to take four hours to put on the make-up and then two hours to remove it. There are eight different layers of clay which has been put in his make up in the film. While applying the make up he cannot eat, drink and talk for four hours. Most of the performance comes out because of the make up. Amithab had worn specially designed dentures to effortlessly replicate a voice of a 13-year old child. Despite of all the efforts made, the Big B never ever showed a sign of panic, on the contrary he was always co-operative, patient, cool and full of enthusiasm.
