The most Herculean task about the latest release PAA was transforming a 67-year
old Amitabh Bachchan into 13-year old child Auro, suffering from a rare
disorder called progeria. So come let's take a short run-through over how
Amitabh became Auro.
Now you can see what's hidden 
The prosthetic makeup, as we know, has been done by Hollywood's Christien
Tinsley (THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST, CATWOMAN) and Dominie Till (THE LORD OF
THE RINGS TRILOGY).
According to the reports Bachchan's make-up cost 10 per cent of the total
budget.
It is learnt that it used to take four to five hours daily for Amitabh
Bachchan's makeup to be done for his film PAA.
Not only this, if it used to take four hours to put on the make-up then two
hours to remove it.
There are eight different layers of clay which has been put in his make up in
the film.
While applying the make up he cannot eat, drink and talk for four hours.
Most of the performance comes out because of the make up.
Big B wore specially designed dentures so as to effortlessly replicate the
voice of a 13-year old child.
He gets a lisp and his speech pattern gets altered because of the extra
teeth.
He wore the dentures throughout the film's shooting and also had them on
while dubbing.
Infact he has also sung a song in his voice wearing these dentures, which
sounds like a child.
But Big B never ever showed a sign of panic, on the contrary he was always
co-operative, patient, cool and full of enthusiasm.
