The movie is based on a Dutch film, Everybody’s Famous, which is about a man who takes an extreme step to fulfill his daughter’s dream.

Two different looks

Anil surprised everyone when pictures of him sporting a salt-and-pepper look made their way to the Internet. However, many people don’t know that he will also be seen in a younger avatar in the film. 

A source says, “Anil essays the role of a father, who is a failed singer, in the musical-comedy. He will play his age for most part, but will be seen as a 20-something in the flashback sequences.” 

The source adds, “The actor had shot for them first. Work on the film has been wrapped up now. Only a romantic song featuring Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Rajkummar Rao is yet to be shot.”

Age-reduction technique again

After Hrs was the first to report how Ali Abbas Zafar and the team of Bharat are planning to present Salman Khan in varied looks in the film. Just like them, the Fanne Khan team also has a VFX team working on Anil’s look. “They have used age-reduction technique to get it right. The team had worked on that, right from the time the film was announced,” concludes our source.
