MUMBAI: When Canada-based Ken Metzker relocated to India and settled in, he became a big name as a master at the post-production color correction process Digital Intermediate, working first for Prasad EFX and later Reliance. When U.K.-based prosthetic and makeup artiste Clover Wootton did likewise and made it big in Mumbai too, she made Sunny Deol go bald without tonsure!
Yes, the 58 year-old actor, who has been in films for over 32 years, dons this look during a jail sequence in “Ghayal Once Again,” which he is writing, producing, directing and acting in as the iconic Ajay Mehra of the original film. Though the shoot was completed in a day, Wootton needed five to six hours of work, and that too after planning it for days, even before the sequence was to be shot.
Deol was astounded when he saw himself in the mirror but was also extremely happy, as actually tonsuring the head would have led to major continuity issues. The look has had an overwhelming response on digital platforms and collectively crossed 3 million views.
