Nawazuddin Siddiqui looked relieved as the 65-day-long start-to-finish schedule of Thackeray, biopic on the life of late Shiv Sena chief Balasaheb Thackeray, ended yesterday. Instead of talking about his performance, the actor couldn't stop praising his make-up man, Rajesh Nag.
Nag tells mid-day, "It takes me two hours to do Nawaz bhai's make-up and make him look like Balasaheb. He has three different looks in the film, which needed to be alternated in a single day's shoot. Director Abhijit Panse is a stickler for detail. There was a time when my house was flooded with old pictures of Balasaheb. His young and the slightly older avatar were the prominent ones I had to work on. In terms of the face structure, Nawaz bhai's face is 70 per cent like Balasaheb's. To get the remaining 30 per cent right was my job."
