There have been films in which the actor had to sit patiently through the full makeup process, most often every day before a shot. It took them hours to complete the entire process. The level of commitment is mind-boggling. The prosthetic makeup completely changes the look of the actors. Sometimes they are completely unrecognizable. Here are some of the most unique makeover transformations in Bollywood:
