Speaking about this film, Sai Tamhankar says, “This is the first film which is being shot on I Phone and my look is very natural in this film, as there is no make up and no hairstyle. The entire film is being shot in Pondicherry and I am enjoying every moment during this process, which is like attending a workshop. I feel that every actress should experience working in such a film, where she gets a chance to come out of her comfort zone and attempt something different.

Hair ordered from Tirupati for wig in the film ‘Bhaai – Part-2′

A proper wig helps to give a perfect look of the character played by the actor. And when the character is of a famous person, then a lot of care is to be taken to give a realistic look. Surendra Salvi and Jitendra Salvi of Natural Hair Studio who had designed the wig for Sagar Deshmukh, in part I of the film ‘Bhaai’ had also taken a big challenge to design the wig for the 60+ look of Pu La Deshpande in Part 2 of ‘Bhai’. And for that they had to order hair from Tirupati to design this special wig.

Incidentally, Salvi brothers had also designed the wig of Nawazuddin Siddiqui for the film ‘Thackeray’ Speaking about their latest challenge of designing the wig for Sagar’s older look to resemble with that of Pu La during his 60+ age, Jitendra Salvi said, “Designing the wig of Sagar while playing Pu La during his young age, wasn’t that difficult, but designing a wig for person’s 60+ age was a difficult task. During the older age, the hair tend to become thinner and even the roots are noticed. If you had seen the photos of Bhaai during the older age, you will agree that his hair were curly. And therefore to show the hair on upper side, we had to shave off the front portion of hair of forehead of the lead actor.”

Anyway, ‘Bhaai – Part-2′ is all set to release on  Friday and therefore there is a lot of curiosity to see how his older look is presented using this special wig for Sagar Deshmukh, who is playing his character.
