MUMBAI: Actor R. Madhavan, who essays the role of a spy in the upcoming film ‘Dhurandhar’, has shared how one small but significant piece of advice from director Aditya Dhar served as the perfect puzzle to cracking the actor’s look.In the film, R. Madhavan essays the role inspired by the National Security Advisor of India, Ajit Doval.
The actor attended the trailer launch of the film on Tuesday, and lavished praise on Aditya for his acute sense of detailing. He shared that while he would sit for 3-4 hours to get the make-up and prosthetics in place, there was something that was not sitting right with his look to get the similarity with the look of the NSA.
He shared that it was Aditya, who walked up to him one fine day, and told him to make his lips thinner while talking, and that little trick did wonders.
He said, "We were busy with the make-up and prosthetics, and we used to do it 3-4 hours a day. Still, something was missing in achieving the similarity (with the NSA). It was then when Aditya told me, 'Sir make your lips thinner while speaking'. And it just changed the game entirely. That one advice did wonders".
