Kate and Wills move over. the REAL wedding of the year is in full rehearsal. We sing, we dance, we rap, we laugh, we ride, we eat...

So the question on day three was how do you stain an actor yellow (or nearly yellow) when you have four more days to shoot. For that we turned to make up lady extraordinaire, Aneela Hussain. If I am honest I don’t know what the answer is to the question. As a director there are just some things you don’t need to know as somebody else gets to deal with the problem, and I didn’t need to know because our shoot had Aneela, so she had the joy of trying to find out the answer to this. You see my job is to pose the question and get others to answer it.

It has been a while since I blogged about the rehearsal days on Bollywood Baraat. It is a little strange doing this now seeing as we have now completed the first week of shooting, but what the hell, better late than never. As you can see I have been crafty and folded both remaining days into one handy blog entry. This is both practical because memory is a hazy thing but also a classic lazy approach to blogging. I am guilty of both things, so sue me, I have been busy.

Day two of rehearsal started with a visit from Emma Cains the Production Designer for Bollywood Baraat who is responsible for the look of both the film and theatre elements of the project. Emma brought with her bags and bags of costumes for the actors to try on. So the morning was spent pleasantly trying on clothes which would help the actors physically get into their characters.
