"The first two days of shooting — at a factory in Mumbai went smoothly. Trouble began when they started shooting in Diu. It started looking scary," a unit hand told a daily, noting, "the make-up started melting and dripping down Sanju's face.



"Adding to his trouble was the fact that prosthetic make-up takes three hours to apply and another hour-and-a-half to remove. So the actor had to wake up at 5am to get ready for a 9.30am shift. It was then that the actor decided to get rid of his hair and use wigs for the other movies he was shooting for.
