No make-up for the cast of Sony TV's Yudh

Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan is all set to take the small screen by storm with his upcoming finite series Yudh (Endemol and Saraswati Productions), to be aired on Sony Entertainment Television from next month. Yudh is going to change the way audiences look at prime-time television with unique methods being implemented by the makers to give the show a realistic feel. One such distinctive feature is the minimal or no make-up for the artists on the show. ?As a departure from the usual, Anurag Kashyap, the creative director of the show took the deliberate decision of ‘no make-up’ for the artists and surprisingly the entire cast welcomed the suggestion. Big B, who plays the character of a real estate baron, Yudhisthir Sikarwar on the show talked of the development saying, “Keeping in mind that it was a directorial decision to make visuals look as real-life as possible, it was essential that the actors looked natural. This helped in the way our scenes were lit up and there were no special efforts to conceal defects, if any, on our faces. These factors work well in the overall look of the product.” The mystique around Yudh continues to draw attention of the entire nation!!
