Sanjay Dutt didn’t initially want to get his head shaved to play the villain in producer Karan Johar’s remake of the yesteryear hit Agneepath. But blame it on the scorching sun that made it almost impossible for Dutt to shoot with prosthetic make-up.

To avoid continuity hiccups in his other films, Sanjay Dutt had roped in the Hollywood make-up expert Robin Slater to give him the bald look. But the make-up sessions were long and tiresome. Applying the make-up to give Sanjay Dutt a bald look used to take close to three hours and taking it off after the shoot took another 1 hour and a half. To make matters worse, the sweltering heat in Diu, where the film is being shot, began melting the make-up, giving Dutt a grotesque look.
