Here's a dekko at Mithun Chakraborty's begger look in his forthcoming children's film Zor Laga Ke Haiya. It took make-up artist Vikram Gaikwad, at least two hours to put on the Mithun's make-up, hair and the beard. Apart from the long time it took to get into the look, he had to fight it out in the heat as most scenes were shot outdoor in the sun. To top it all, for many scenes, he had to sit atop a tree, climbing with the help of a rope ladder. So the hairy look really got to him. Zor Lagaa Ke Haiya, directed by Girish Girija Joshi (assistant to Raj Kumar Santoshi), is about a group of children, who treat a tree as their home and play ground. A construction giant wants to raze the tree to build a multi-storied building over there. The kids start a tree Chipko Movement with the help of a homeless beggar played by Mithun. "Apart from taking time in putting it on, we were shooting outdoors and it used to be very hot. Naturally, Mithun da would also feel the heat and it used to make him irritable. But the look was so perfect that even some people who know him very well, could not recognise him on the first day of the shoot," says Girish.
