Anushka Sharma is determined that her debut production, “NH10,” should be as ‘real’ as possible. So director Navdeep Singh decided to fly down French make-up artist, Romy Angevin, from Paris to sculpt her ‘look’. “It’s a gritty, gory film but thanks to Romy, when you see Anushka lying in a pool of blood, her skin peeling off, you will never guess the amount of prosthetics involved,” says a source from the unit.
The 26-year old actress-producer spent over four hours in make-up before several sequences. It was tedious because most of the shooting was done outdoors in summer and abrasive chemicals were used on her skin. The film revolves around a young couple, Meera and Arjun, who are attacked after a party in Gurgaon in the wee hours.
