No make-up for Big B in 'Yudh'

Megastar Amitabh Bachchan will be seen without make-up in his much awaited TV show 'Yudh'.

The 71-year-old actor plays the character of a real estate baron, Yudhisthir Sikarwar, in the upcoming show.

Anurag Kashyap, the creative director of the show, took a deliberate decision of 'no makeup' for the artists and the entire cast welcomed it.

"Keeping in mind that it was a directorial decision to make visuals look as real-life as possible, it was essential that the actors looked natural. That helped in the way our scenes were lit up and there were no special efforts to conceal defects, if any, on our faces. These factors work well in the overall look of the product," Bachchan said in a statement here.

The show is likely to go on air from mid-July on Sony Entertainment Television.
