Cast of Rajat Kapoor's Ankhon Dekhi shoot without make-up

Actor-Director Rajat Kapoor has brought in a no make-up clause for his next movie, Ankhon Dekhi. This effectively meant that the entire crew of actors and actress shot for the movie sans any make-up. In fact sources reveal that while casting for the film, Rajat mentioned it to the cast, beforehand that there will be no make-up crew or vanity vans. “With no make-up and hair personnel, it was a tight team of cast and crew. The strength of the team was 40-45 people odd,” says a source. Talking about his decision of doing away with make-up artists, Rajat says, "It is terrible what actors do to their faces with make-up and hide the beauty of their faces under layers of it. We decided that we did not want any make-up for this film and that was made clear to all the actors when they came to audition. Some actors, in fact, did not agree to the clause, so unfortunately we had to let them go. Not having make-up and hair professionals on the set did many things -it brought a sense of reality to the film- which was very crucial for us, it gave a certain freedom to the actors and additionally it saved a lot of time - which was great for the shoot.” Ankhon Dekhi is a humorous film about a man's journey. The film is shot in the narrow lanes of Shahjahanbad, Delhi. Rajat has written, directed and acted in the film too.
