Say What: B-town celebs’ unbelievable transformation for a role

Akshay Kumar

This is probably the first time Akshay Kumar has left his comfort zone and experimented with his looks for a film. As the first pictures of Akshay leaked while filming '2.0', we couldn't believe what was unfolding in front of our eyes. Akshay screamed pure evil in the pictures and hence, '2.0' has become the much-awaited film of the actor which also stars superstar Rajinikanth.

Ranveer Singh as Alauddin Khilji

Though the film is titled 'Padmavati', it is Ranveer Singh as Alauddin Khilji who is in focus. Ever since the trailer of the film released, Khilji has been the news point as he romanticises viciousness with perfection. From the long tresses to those evil eyes and the scar that tells a story of the battles Khilji has fought, Ranveer has nailed the look of the year.

Rajkummar Rao in Raabta

Rajkummar Rao's dramatic transformation for 'Raabta' will leave you speechless. The actor played the role of a 324-year-old man and his prosthetics definitely looked as if he has lived through aeons of years. Though the film tanked, Rajkummar's daring makeover did win him a lot of accolades.

Rishi Kapoor as Amarjeet Kapoor

Veteran actor Rishi Kapoor became the cute grandpa in the movie ‘Kapoor & Sons’. Greg Cannom, the Academy Award makeup artist helped him to transform himself into an endearing oldie for the movie.

Vidya Balan as Bobby

Vidya Balan's first look from 'Bobby Jasoos' had us all glued to the picture. We, of course, couldn't believe that the shabbily dressed person with a beard and moustache begging on the roads of Hyderabad was indeed Vidya Balan. The female detective story didn't garner much at the box office but Vidya's role definitely won many hearts.

Priyanka Chopra as Jhilmil

Priyanka Chopra as Jhilmil got into the skin of the character literally. It was hard to see Priyanka in Jhilmi as the actress essayed the role of an autistic girl with perfection. Priyanka went for a makeover with short curly hair and buck teeth. She also chose to do minimal makeup and looked the part.

Amitabh Bachchan as Auro

In ‘Paa’, Amitabh Bachchan played a role of 13-year-old Auro who was suffering from a rare genetic disorder known as progeria. It was very difficult to transform the then 67-year-old Shahenshah into a 13-year-old child. But the actor attained the inevitable with elan.

Hrithik Roshan as Aryan

Though Hrithik Roshan's character didn't demand him to be in a new avatar completely for the entire film, Roshan did have to get into a disguise whenever he planned a robbery n 'Dhoom 2'. From being an old lady to an old cleaner who can barely walk to even being a statue, Hrithik nailed each and every look for the film.

Kamal Hassan in Chachi 420

Way before the trend of makeovers in films started, it was Kamal Hassan who dabbled with getting into a new getup with almost every film. Chachai 420 saw Hassan in the get up of an old Maharashtrian lady for almost the entire film. WIth the 9 yard saree and the whole prosthetics, Kamal Hassan delivered a huge hit with Chachi 420

Kamal Hassan in Indian

Kamal Hassan had a double role in this vigilante crime thriller film. He played the father-son role with the father having a lot of prosthetic makeup that made Hassan look the age.
