Digging a hidden gem from his archives, the actor has now shared a BTS video from the sets of Heeramandi wherein his team can be seen preparing him for the role.
The clip shows a team of hair and makeup professionals applying makeup to Fardeen Khan’s face, transforming into the character that he played in Heeramandi. From hair styling to kohl and even the fake moustache, every detailing was on-point, making Fardeen look like an absolute royal Nawab. At the end of the footage, the actor also attached a glimpse of his final look. Dressed in the costume to play Wali Mohammed, the actor beautifully got into the skin of the character.
