Yami Gautam’s look from her latest film ‘Bhoot Police’ is hard-to-miss. Apparently, the makeup took three hours to be done and another 45 minutes to get out of it. Sharing a sneak-peek of her ‘possessed’ look, the actor wrote on Instagram, “My love for horror films was one of the main reasons that got me excited to play the part in #BhootPolice, where I get ‘possessed’. It wasn’t easy as it took 3 hours for me to get into this look and 45 mins to get out of it, each day, shooting bare feet & with cable work, throughout the chilly nights in Himachal…(sic)”
She continued, “Despite my neck injury, I wanted to do everything myself, and my Yoga practice helped me to achieve it to a great extent. Although, I wish I could take some professional training but the pandemic restrictions made it impossible at that time. I did whatever best I could on the set! These are a part of the challenges that come along with the profession I love so much! And I will do it again and again! Thank you for giving me so much love, again & making the pain seem absolutely worth it (sic).”
Recently, Yami said that she is relieved she is finally getting the opportunity to be a part of diverse films that let her break the “pretty girl” mould that the industry had slotted her in.
‘Bhoot Police’ is currently streaming on Disney+ Hotstar. Produced by Ramesh Taurani and Akshai Puri, the film also stars Saif Ali Khan, Arjun Kapoor, and Jacqueline Fernandez. “It was an entertaining script. I knew that if done right, a horror-comedy can be a nice family watch. It might look that, ‘Oh it is just comedy’, but it is challenging because horror-comedy is a hard genre. Not only your performance but even your sound has to be correct, prosthetics have to be correct… All these elements have to be in sync,” she told PTI.
Yami will be seen in three more films, including social comedy ‘Dasvi’, thriller ‘A Thursday’ and investigative drama ‘Lost’.
