Shah Rukh Khan’s Body Double Says Actor’s Bald Look Took 4-Hour Makeup
In a conversation with Aajtak.in, Prashant expressed his enthusiasm, sharing, “When I learned that the film’s director was Atlee and he offered me ‘Jawan,’ to be honest, I was thrilled. Right from the moment we shot the film’s teaser, I had a strong sense that it could surpass the success of ‘Pathaan.’ Throughout the filming process, I was brimming with excitement, sensing that something extraordinary and groundbreaking was on the horizon—a fresh and unique addition to Bollywood. It wasn’t just me; the entire crew, consisting of approximately 1,500 individuals, shared this optimism, believing that the film had the potential to work wonders. Judging by the response we’ve received on the first day, it appears that our collective intuition was right on the mark.”
Regarding his bald look in the film, Prashant revealed, “Creating the bald look was the most time-consuming aspect of my transformation because we had to use prosthetics. On days when prosthetic makeup was applied, we shot only in that look. The process of applying prosthetic makeup took around three to four hours. We alternated between days with the bald look and others because spending 10 to 12 hours on set with the makeup caused skin issues like rashes and boils to develop.”
