When
National Award-winning makeup and prosthetics specialist Preetisheel Singh
designed Nawazuddin Siddiqui's look for the Sridevi starrer Mom, everyone was
stunned by the transformation. The prosthetics expert has now created yet
another transformational look for Nawazuddin for the role of Shiv Sena supremo
Bal Thackeray in the upcoming biopic Thackeray.
Ever
since the teaser of Thackeray was released by Uddhav Thackeray and Amitabh
Bachchan, the look has been getting rave reviews and has been a topic of
discussion amongst the public as well as the media. The film is presented by
Sanjay Raut and directed by Abhijit Panse.
"I'm
grateful to the makers for having shown faith and trust in my work," says
Preetisheel. "When a legendary personality like Balasaheb Thackeray is
being brought to life on celluloid, the responsibility is tremendous."
She
has made a lot of heads turn with her work for actors in more than 15 movies including Bajirao
Mastani, Rangoon, Brothers, Mom, Haider, Parched, Hawaizaada, Shivaay, Talwar,
Housefull 3,
Ghayal Once Again, Finding Fanny, the Tamil film 24 as well as the
pre-Mughal historical epic Nanak Shah Fakir for which she won the 'National
Film Award for Best Make-Up'.
Her
work will also be seen in awaited movies like Sanjay Leela Bhansali's
Padmavati, Umesh Shukla's 102 Not Out, Vikramaditya Motwane's Bhavesh Joshi
and Sunny Deol's Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas.
She
puts in a strong word for Nawazuddin's dedication. "He is not only a
brilliant actor but one who treats his art and profession like prayers. During
the three-odd hours it took to get him into the look, his studious silence and
study of his face was inspiring. It was as if he was in a meditative
mode."
But
Preetisheel admits, she was overcome with anxiety about the reaction she would
get from the makers. Recalling the situation during the teaser shoot she says,
"When Nawazuddin finally emerged out of the makeup room for the first time
in the get up, everyone had a very judging look on their faces. And then, suddenly
I saw huge smiles everywhere. The makers were impressed. They praised me and
shook hands with me. I can never forget that elated moment. I heaved a huge
sigh of relief."
