In an exclusive conversation with Kanwar, the dapper opened up on donning the disguised looks, time that takes for preparations and more. You wouldn't want to miss his responses:
Pandya Store has turn completely Shiva's Show, how thrilling is it to perform in disguises?
It's great, it is absolutely fun as I have done these disguises before in Na Bole Tum also, I had to 10-12 disguises and not so many people had done it back then. It is always fun to experiment and see what all one person can become, not even in your wildest dreams you can imagine what you can look like, makeup, a little voice modulation and tweaking in body language can do wonders and I am getting to experiment and it is thrilling.
Which one has been your boldest disguise?
My boldest would be the one where I played the Eunuch, it's my first time in the career that I took this disguise and it states my capabilities as I am ready to experiment and bring out the best. I am giving Shiva my full potential, also the old man's disguise was absolutely surprising for everyone. Alice didn't even come close to me, she was running away from me and she told me I look like a Kidnapper who would kidnap kids and do wrong things. I was looking like a menacing old man and I would call it a great compliment for the makeup artists who achieved this look on me. Everyone on my set were also running away from me. They didn't even recognise me at once, it did take them a while.
Fans have been comparing you to Hrithik Roshan from Dhoom 2, do plan to experiment further or pick such characters?
Why not! I believe even you would get bored looking at yourself in the same look. When you get to experiment especially when it is doing justice to the narrative of the show, it isn't happening for just the fun of it. There is a specific track that justifies Shiva's disguises and even his urge to be close to his family members. It isn't out of focus and comparing me to Hrithik's Dhoom, I reckon doing the same look of a rag picker in Internet Wala Love. I have done these looks earlier too, with Pandya Store as the show has been trending, fans are acknowledging it more. Even with Na Bole Tum I had set a record of achieving 10-12 looks.
What goes behind preparing for these looks?
It isn't that easy to sit for hours to master the perfect look with the prosthetics and makeup, it is quite painful to sit for such long hours on a chair till the makeup is done. It isn't achieved in one go, as we go through a process of deciding what would look better and these trials are quite tedious as with all the glue on your face for beard and other add ons. But it is all worth the reactions that I recieve from fans.
We are in complete awe of Shiva, how about you guys?
