Big B scared of his own 'Sketch'
By Webmaster, 9 April, 2008

Amitabh Bachchan, who is playing the ghost in Bhootnath, was startled when he saw the sketches of his role for the first time.

Director Vivek Sharma says, "Amitji's immediate reaction was 'Kya yeh main hoon?' It was funny to see his shocked look."

Big B we hear worked hard for two-and-a-half months to get under the skin of the role. Saya Vivek, "The only difference of opinion we had was about the length of his hair. We wanted it long but Amitji said that would be a repetition of the Jhoom Barabar Jhoom look. The long nails used to irritate him a lot as there is a special gum used for it. He had to keep it on for 4 to 5 hours but still he used to be very active after the shoot."

Vivek says everyone has worked very hard on Amitabh's role. "We have used whitener so that the corpse looks natural. In the film it is shown that he has come after 20 years of his death and so his clothes had to look tattered. The final look has been given by his own make up artiste, Deepak Sawant."

He adds, "Amitji used to take two hours to get into his ghost costume."
