Why did Kangana observe a maun vrat on the sets of Katti Batti?

No, the actress wasn't having a Katti Batti moment with anyone!

Infact, it was for a scene that Kangana went an extra edge to nail.

As is know, the Imran Khan - Kangana Ranaut starrer, Katti Batti is an emotional roller coaster of sorts.

Towards the second half of the film, this journey evolves further emotional.

In order to get into the intense state and to be able to deliver a perfect shot, Kangana observed a maun vrat.

The actress wouldn't speak to anyone but the films director Nikhil Advani to gain insights of the scene.

This went on for days as the emotional portion of the film was shot over a period of days.

Everyday Kangana would appear on the sets and go into isolation to prepare for her role.

It was this portion of the film which was emotionally taxing for the actress as she chose to deliver each and every scene naturally.

Kudos to Kangana for going the lengths to prepare to play Payal's character.

A source from the sets tells us that Divya and Pulkit have bonded over their love for fitness and working out during the shooting of their film.They always make it a point to cycle back to their respective hotels after packing up their day’s shoot. 

Now that's certainly an innovative, fun and time-saving way of staying fit while juggling work, isn't it?

Black Mass - Johnny Depp Transformation

In Black Mass, Johnny Depp takes on real life gangster James Bulger.Finely sculpted facial prosthetics were used to give Johnny Depp the visage of Whitey Bulger.  Makeup department head Joel Harlow offers, “From the beginning, it was important to Johnny to look as much like Whitey Bulger as possible.  We started with a cyber scan of his head and then, using reference materials from the Internet, I shaped silicone prosthetics.  We went through a number of tests before finding what worked: focusing on the forehead and the nose to create an amalgam of Whitey and Johnny.  We went to enormous lengths to get the density of the silicone correct, especially on the forehead, so Johnny’s expressions would come through organically.”

For Whitey’s distinctive hairline, the hair department, headed by Gloria Casny, began with Harlow’s silicone pieces that had been shaped precisely to Depp’s own head and extended over the forehead down to the eyebrows.  Then special effects hair/wigmaker Khanh Trance spent dozens of hours punching thousands of individual strands of hair into the silicone to create the hairline as well as the brows.  Casny explains, “She had to do one hair at a time to make it look the most natural.  I then added a salt-and-pepper back wig to blend into the hairline and cover Johnny’s naturally dark hair.”

The job was made all the more daunting because each silicone piece could only be used once, “so we had to do new ones every single day,” Casny says.  “At one point, we had two people helping Khanh in 12 hour shifts, 24 hours a day.  We also had to show stages of aging, which we did by increasing the grey and thinning the hair.  Different sideburns also reflected the changing times.”

“All in all, it’s a stunning transformation,” Director Scott Cooper sums up simply.
