Balakrishna's make-up secret

  • IndiaGlitz, [Monday,January 07 2008]

While on Okka Magadu, we cannot tell you if Balakrishna plays two roles in the film, but we can tell you that he has two get-ups. And that’s the one that would surprise the audience we are told.

The film is in post production and those who have seen the rushes insist the make-up done is excellent. And why wouldn't it be? YVS Choudhary and Balakrishna went to Hollywood and spent 20 days to get the right make-up tips from a leading make-up artist there.

The same were taught to the make-up artists here and both Simran and Balakrishna were done up accordingly. While the whole process of putting the make-up on took about three to four hours, the removal process too took nothing less than an hour and half to two hours.

No one but Balakrishna has the discipline to do such tedious task, says Choudhary. News is that Balakrishna would get up as early as 3.30 am and get the make-up done and report on the sets by 9 sharp. Now, that’s what we call professionalism.
