Salman Khan is making sure that he becomes known as the Mr Perfectionist of Bollywood. The actor left no stone unturned to prove his dedication towards his upcoming project ‘Bharat’. So much so that he devoted 2.5 hours before the shoot to get into his salt-n-pepper look for the film.

Yes, you read that right! The actor took his fans by surprise with the first poster itself. The salt-n-pepper look has been loved by fans. It was a gamble that paid off really well.

The look does have a lot of hard work put in by the makers and Salman Khan, himself. The director, Ali Abbas Zafar, recently revealed in an interview by saying, “It’s a very tedious process, but he would be patient. It would take him two-and-a-half hours to get ready. After the narration, he understood that not only did the script demand it, but this look is also very significant in keeping with his character graph. He was very supportive about the idea and the entire process.

Salman Khan had to try out 20 different beards and moustaches for the look before finalising the perfect fit. The actor’s patience was appreciated by the director and the makers. The prosthetics were designed by a UK-based company and executed with Indian make up artists.

Besides Salman, the film also stars Katrina Kaif, Disha Patani, Tabu, Jackie Shroff, Sonali Kulkarni and Sunil Grover. The film boasts of an ensemble cast promising power-packed performances. The film is set to hit theatres on Eid later this year.
