Padmaavat, Andhadhun Look Designer Wants More of Fantasy Genre in Bollywood

National Award winning makeup, hair and prosthetic designer Preetisheel Singh, who has designed the looks for characters in many acclaimed films like Bajirao Mastani, Padmaavat, Andhadhun and 102 Not Out, wants to take look designing in Bollywood to the next level.Emerging as the undisputed No 1 in her profession, she is craving for more and more challenges. Since my teens, I have been a big movie buff and mostly fascinated by the fantasy genre.

I landed up being a software engineer, but in one way or the other, my heart was always into the art form, confesses Preetisheel.Two of the initial movies which left an impression on me were Chachi 420 and Planet Of The Apes. The transformation of all the characters were absolutely brilliant.

I realized that doing something like that would be a dream come true for me.Preetisheel, who received rave reviews for her work in the Tamil science fiction thriller 24, says that when she sees Hollywood film series such as Avengers, Fantastic Beasts, Harry Potter or even movies like Avatar, Batman, Wonder Woman or even a Jumanji, she wonders why we cant attempt similar subjects in Bollywood. I guess, the time is just right and we can safely take the leap, she says.

Though she points out that its challenging to execute prosthetics in India, mainly due to lack of FX material supplies, Preetisheel says she stocks up raw material whenever she gets a chance.Because of this shortage, she along with her husband Mark Dsouza have also set up Indias first makeup and prosthetic lab called Da Makeup Lab in Mumbai; a special effects makeup studio, which caters to prosthetics, body painting, tattoo work and character designing. The goal is to bring standards of makeup and prosthetics in India at par with Hollywood, concludes Preetisheel.

Coming up next are more innovative looks she is designing for films like the Nawazuddin Siddiqui-starrer Thackeray, Atharvaa-starrer Boomerang, John Abraham-starrer Romeo Akbar Walter (RAW), Kangana Ranaut-starrer Panga, Salman Khan-starrer Bharat and the film Chhichore with an ensemble lead cast RELATED QUESTION What is the most epic long (at least 8 minutes) rock song ever? You can nominate one song and one honorable mention. What is the most epic long (at least 8 minutes) rock song ever?

You can nominate one song and one honorable mention.Woodstock - Ten Years After - I'm Going Home(Live) - YouTubeAs far as I know, this is the greatest rock presentation to date!Below has 2 song parts that are from the same long album, Happy Trails, which, in its totality, is essentially a long jam.

I include audio first, then related film footage for each part. Who Do You Love is a great cover song and the lyrics show such a spectacular sense of dark humor: the singer creates all these death-tinged descriptions of his belongings, then asks the girl to take a little walk with him and tell him who she loves! Whats she gonna say, Actually, I love your best friend Max!

Yeah right, and he remembers hes still looking for those Marquis de Sade designer chairs he saw at Lord Buckleys made from human flesh!Mona is such an amazing example of Love, Devotion, and Surrender, presented in a testosterone and estrogen laden rock anthem tour de force, and I still get chills from it; I find myself longing for consummation, in physical rapport with the song, through a form of dancing that may make the Tango blush!YouTube
