Shoojit Sircar, who is the director of the film, said in the video that when they were planning the film they decided that they wanted to make the character in such a way that no one could realise that it is Amitabh Bachchan. Producer Ronnie Lahri revealed that it was "quite a challenge" to present him in a different way this time for Gulabo Sitabo. They finally got a reference image and worked on it. Sircar then talked about how Big B used to have this makeup on for over 12 hours of shooting and even two hours prior to the shoot.
