Here’s how Shah Rukh Khan will transform into a dwarf in his next film

There is no secret that Shah Rukh Khan will be seen playing a dwarf in Aanand L Rai's untitled next. The film also starring Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma will see Shah Rukh play a dwarf's role for the first time in the 25 years of his Bollywood career.

Recently, when Shah Rukh was asked about his prep for the role, the actor spoke largely about the technology that will be used for the VFX. He spoke about Red Chillies VFX working on the film, and about how technology will change the way we look at Indian cinema.

While there were reports that Shah Rukh's face will be superimposed on a dwarf's face for the film, a source close to the project revealed, "The makers will not superimpose SRK's face on a dwarf actor. They will shoot using Forced Perspective, a technique that employs optical illusion to make an object appear farther away, closer, larger or smaller than it actually is. It will make SRK look shorter."

Talking about Shashi Kapoor's hit track, 'Hum Ko Tum Pe Pyar Aaya', which will be revisited in the film, the source concluded, "SRK will be seen dancing to the classic from 'Jab Jab Phool Khile' (1965). It's an amusing sequence in the film."
