Ranveer Singh as Alauddin Khilji

Ranveer Singh as Alauddin Khilji

Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Padmaavat, starring Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor, completes four years on 25th January. To mark the occasion, hair designer Darshan Yewalekar, who created the iconic Alauddin Khilji look, besides working on many other memorable characters with his muse, Ranveer Singh, in their decade-old association has taken a stroll down throwback avenue, sharing some BTS pics from the sets documenting the star's jaw-dropping tansforamtion as Padmaavat's bone-chilling villain, Khilji. Darshan Yewalekar felt particularly nostalgic over his work in Padmaavat as it completes 4 years on account of it being his most challenging job yet, especially since there was no visual reference for the character and he all had to go on was SLB's vision.

Ranveer Singh’s Padmaavat look

Ranveer Singh’s Padmaavat look

Darshan says, “The brief was about the character's graph and I had to create a look that jelled with the decisions Khilji makes in the film. The look had to be in sync with his portrayal and we began with the beard and asked Ranveer to grow it for over two months. When this scruffy long beard framed his face, we had a template that we could carve upon. We also gave Ranveer a long goatee and accentuated the dramatic elongated lines of his face to bring attention to his eyes, which played such a huge part in creating a sense of danger around the character. Together, we created a character that looked like a formidable antagonist.”

As someone who always studies the nuances of a character, Darshan wondered how a destructive antagonist like Alauddin Khilji would style his hair. He adds, “His hair had to be an extension of his persona so as to also exude his wild, untamed, careless energy. His hair and beard, in the end, made him stand out because they were, for want of a better word, loud and distinctly unforgettable just like him.”

In order to get the ideal beard for Ranveer Singh in the movie, his hair and makeup artist first tried out various bearded looks on himself.

Ranveer Singh’s makeup consistency

It was tough however to maintain the consistency and the integrity of the look throughout the making of the film. Darshan recalls, “To give volume and texture to the hair, we had blended in extensions with Ranveer's own hair. And maintaining that beard was a bit of a challenge. You know, it's not easy for an actor to perform with 18 clips in his hair and not let them come in the way of all that movement and that kind of energy. We had also ensured that all this was not taking a toll on his own hair and had to accelerate the healing process with regular hair spas and treatments.” Well, the efforts certainly paid off, didn’t it?
