Shabana Azmi, Jaya Bachchan’s Complete Makeover In Karan Johar’s Film

Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani: Manish Malhotra is giving Shabana Azmi, Jaya Bachchan a glamorous makeover for KJo’s film

Two of  India’s finest actresses Shabana Azmi and Jaya Bachchan, both beyond 70, are being given the most spectacular makeover in the history of their illustrious careers.

And producer-director Karan Johar  has assigned  the  formidable  job to his  buddy designer Manish Malhotra who has been provided a detailed brief on how the two actresses should look in Johar’s Rocky Aur Rani Ki Amar Kahani where Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt play the title roles.

A source from the core crew tells me, “Who says women after a certain age cannot be glamorous? Gayatri Devi and Sharmila Tagore are prime examples of ultimate autumnal glamour. Shabanaji and Jayaji have great   potential for being glammed up and we are going to make full use of their towering personalities to dress them  up as divas.”

The joke on location of  Rocky Aur Rani Ki  Prem Kahani is….every time Shabana and Jaya see Manish Malhotra approaching they shout to one another to run to hide.

“They can’t recognize themselves in the mirror once they get into the clothes Manish has designed for them,”   the  insider from the crew tell me with an evil  laugh.
