Taking to her Instagram handle, Preetisheel shared a makeup session video of Ranveer Singh, capturing the transformation of the actor into the film's "Ghost Born of Shadows" look in the film. In the video, the actor was sitting calmly and quietly as a team of artists meticulously painted his face and built the eerie look layer by layer.
While sharing the video, the celebrity makeup stylist wrote, "When your mind grows weary, illusion paints its lies in colours you ache to believe!! Transforming Ranveer Singh into a Ghost born of Shadows! Dhurandhar-The revenge."
After watching the video, netizens were amazed to see the actor's transformation, having previously assumed Ranveer's appearance was achieved through heavy VFX.
"Ohhhh Wowww !! I thought VFX thaaa," wrote one of the netizens in the comment section of the post. The Jiostudios also chimed in the comment section, writing, "What a GHATAK makeover" to praise the transformation of the actor.
"Mujhe laga AI or CGI hai (I thought it's AI or CGI)," added another netizen.
'Dhurandhar: The Revenge', the latest instalment in the franchise, was released in theatres on March 19 and continues to generate significant buzz.
