They will be working on four looks spanning different ages of the veteran leader.

“Kangana has four looks spanning different ages in the film and we need good amount of pre-production for that. We have roped in Hollywood make-up artists( Jason Collins) for Kangana’s makeover.” Hindustan Times quoted Induri.
