If one says that Rishi Kapoor is a perfectionist then that will be an underrated sentence. Rishi Kapoor spent five hours every day for a month on makeup. And result came out of Rs 1.5 crore to get his look right.
Rishi Kapoor is not at all shying away from experimenting with his looks. The actor is playing an 85-year-old grouchy, bullying old man in his upcoming film, ‘Kapoor & Sons’ and this is what he’s going to look like.
According to a source, “Greg Cannom is a Hollywood special makeup effects artist to have done makeup for him. Cannom has been nominated for nine Academy Awards and has won three times for ‘The Curious Case of Benjamin Button’ (2008), ‘Mrs Doubtfire’ (1993) and ‘Dracula’ (1992). He has also been nominated for seven Saturn Awards and received one.”
During the shoot, Rishi Kapoor had to sit for five hours every day for almost a month and had to wake up at 5 am. He is a drinking man and people say he has no patience, and for him to wake up early every single day and sit for five hours at a stretch was a bit.
“When Karan (Johar) and the director Shakun (Batra) came to meet me, I suggested they take Cannom because I had heard of him. I was not sure about this suggestion being agreed upon since it would be a costly affair. But Karan agreed even though he knew that this would cost him around Rs 1.5 to Rs 1.75 crore,” says Rishi Kapoor. “Shakun and I met up with Cannom and discussed the look and we decided that it would be a mix of Rishi Kapoor and AK Hangal’s look,” the actor adds.
