Sunny Deol had a close shave during the shoot of the Ghayal
sequel. The action-packed thriller, which introduces four debutants -
Shivam Patil, Rishabh Arora, Diana Khan and Aanchal Munjal, traces the
journey and trials of Ajay Mehra, the aspiring boxing champ from the
original, from 1990 to 2015. A crucial jail sequence required Sunny
Deol, who returns with the iconic character after a quarter of a
century, to go bald. It was integral to the script of Ghayal Once Again
and for a few minutes, the actor-director toyed with the idea of
tonsuring his head before opting for prosthetics to ensure continuity.
A UK-based prosthetic and make-up artist, Clover Wootton, who has settled in India and is a popular name in Bollywood, was roped in. "She worked on the look before the shoot," informs co-producer, Sunil Saini, in a Mumbai Mirror report, admitting that the actor was taken aback when he saw himself in the mirror. "But he was happy because this was also what he had wanted. He's been under a lot of stress and mental trauma in jail and the shaving of the head is part of the treatment. It has a calming effect on him and puts him on the path to recovery," he said.
