No Make up for Rajat's film.

No Make up for Rajat's film.

Ankhon Dekhi is a humorous film about a man's journey.

The film is shot in the narrow lanes of Shahjahanbad, Delhi.

Rajat has hemmed the project from scratch. He has written, directed and acted in the film. Rajat has looked into the casting of the film largely.

While casting for the film, Rajat mentioned it to the cast, beforehand that there will be no make-up personelle or vanity vans.

Rajat was keen to keep it as real as possible and hence did not want to loose the element.

A lot of actors Rajat spoke to were not comfortable with this. The reasoned with him and did not come on board for the film because of this reason.

However Rajat was very sure of the vision he had for the film.

The film has even been shot at real locations houses and narrow lanes in Shahjahanabad, Delhi

With no make up - hair personelle, it was a tight team of cast and crew. The strength of the team was 40-45 people odd.

Says Rajat Kapoor "It is terrible what actors do to their faces with make up- 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.."

He further adds "Not having make up and hair professionals on the set did many things -it brought a  sense of real 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.."
