Cinema has always created a world of dreams where some true and some untrue are shown in a way where people start believing in it. It is an actor's responsibility to make sure that the right message is portrayed in a way where they can connect to it and feel what the character is going through. Many times actors mould themselves to the character to a level where it is nearly impossible for us to believe the difference onscreen vs off screen. Let us look at few of our brilliant Bollywood actors who have till now mastered the skills of disguise.
Shah Rukh Khan - The King Khan in recent times amazed everyone by playing 20-something young fan, Gaurav, of superstar Aryan Khan. While playing double role itself is a challenge, wearing complete contrary makeup is another uphill task. SRK earlier too has played with different avatars with much ease and created memorable characters - far different from his real look.
Hrithik Roshan: The suave actor Hrithik not to be left behind in the league of actors in disguise. Hrithik time and again has enthralled audience with his performance and looks in disguise. The actor was seen experimenting with various looks in disguise 'Dhoom:2' as the dashing thief. Then in 'Guzaarish' he portrayed the character of a handicap illusionist with an all new getup matching to the character. And not to forget his twin roles as father and son in 'Koi Mil Gaya' and 'Krrish' franchisee. The actor disguised as a genius father and simultaneously disguised as the super hero.
Priyanka Chopra: Priyanka has not just made us proud in India but also across the globe. She has shown her versatility is a true manner by the characters she has been playing. Looking at few she has mastered the disguise is 'What's Your Rashee?' and '7 Khoon Maaf' where she portrayed different individuals with different identity and looks. In 'Mary Kom' she plays the character of our Indian boxing champion Mary Kom where she looked exactly like her and was difficult to spot the difference.
Ranbir Kapoor: Coming from a distinguished background, this actor has proved himself with every film he has given to his audience. Right from his role in 'Rocket Singh' to his character in 'Rockstar' and now recently we saw a sneak peek of his look from the most awaited biopic of Sanjay Dutt. He has always surprised his viewers by his disguised looks and characters.
Irrfan Khan: Versatile actor Irrfan Khan has been mesmerizing his audience with his various roles in disguise. Also when it comes to him we automatically start thinking the diverse roles he has given to cinema. From his amazing looks in 'Madaari' to now in 'Hindi Medium' we have been just seeing his making audiences jaw dropped by all his characters.
Kamal Hassan - Kamal Hassan has always surprised his fans. No one can be compared or match his acting prowess for years to come. He is unique, a número uno and was born to act. The actor went ahead to play not double or triple but 10 roles in 'Dasavathaaram', then in 'Chachi 420' where he looked beautiful in a woman`s get-up and played the role with perfection. He has played many characters in the innumerable films like in 'Appu Raja', 'Mayor Sahab', 'Hindustani', 'Vishwaroopam', 'Hey Ram', 'Abhay' to name a few these roles brought out different faces of this versatile actor.
Rajkummar Rao - This actor has been picking a wide variety of roles, and proving just how he can do justice to any script or character that`s given to him. We saw him playing the role of an abusive husband in 'Hamari Adhuri Kahani', then in 'Ami Sairabanu', which was supposed to mark Rajkummar's debut in Bengali cinema he plays a eunuch and now his amazing transformation in Raabta where he plays a 324-year-old man in the movie. This Bollywood actor has surely amazed us with his talent and looks in the films he has done.
Sayani Gupta: Sayani who started her film career with 'Margarita With A Straw' playing a character of a blind girl, has shown all the colors from her basket till date. We have always seen her getting into any character portrayed by her. She played a character of a pregnant lady in 'Jolly LLB' and soon to be seen as a 14-year-old kid in 'Jagga Jasoos'. She has also been giving amazing short films where she has played variety of roles with different looks every time.
Rishi Kapoor - No doubt Chintuji won several appreciations and awards for his role as the cute and naughty 90-yr old grandpa in 'Kapoor and Sons'. Earlier too, the veteran star took away brownie points for his different looks in several films namely 'Love Aaj Kal', 'Do Dooni Chaar' 'Agneepath', 'D-Day' among others.
Amitabh Bachchan - Our megastar surely takes the piece of cake.... Who can forget his adorable "Auro" character in R.Balki's 'Paa'. He painstakingly endured long hours of prosthetic makeup sessions to look like a child affected with Progeria. Besides, there are several other well-acclaimed films of the veteran superstar where he proved he is ageless when it comes to experimenting with his looks...
