Bogeyman B!

doweshowbellyad=0; Amitabh Bachchan. More picsLong nails, ruffled hair, termite-eaten jacket, unkempt appearance... Amitabh Bachchan, that actor par excellence, seems to have travelled to hell and back for his bogeyman look in Ravi Chopra���s next production, Bhoothnath.
Bachchan gives credit to director Vivek Sharma. ���He had a vision, I simply did what was asked of me,��� Big B said.Look designer Muneesh Sappel adds, ���We had several options, I���m happy with our choice and the final outcome.��� And while producer Chopra describes Bhooth Bachchan���s look as ���rocking���, make-up man Deepak Sawant says that the actor used to take one-and-a-half-hour to get into the ghostly garb, and only 30 minutes to get out of it.
Apparently, the first day of shooting was quite eventful. ���There were a group of people waiting outside Amitji���s van for his autograph, and when he emerged in his get-up, they were stunned and actually took a step back,��� narrates director Sharma. ���He then tried to scare Juhi and everyone else on the sets, too. It was fun. There were screams and lots of laughter. Amitji was extremely co-operative. Not once did he complain.���
The ghostly experience was anything but ghastly for Bachchan. ���It was deadly, literally and figuratively speaking. I enjoyed myself,��� he says. The film, however, isn���t one from the horror genre. ���Kids are going to love it as much as their parents,��� explains Chopra. Bachchan, in the course of the film, metamorphoses into a good soul. So let���s toast to this ghost who is actually a dost!
