While bhai is mostly effortless when it comes to making his presence felt on screen, he also had to undergo several look tests before locking the ones that worked. “Rehearsals were organized at Filmistan Studious for the actors. Disha Patni had to attend rehearsals for 15 days while Salman came to the sets for about eight days to finalise his looks for the film,” says a source. According to a crewmember, the Dabangg actor dons five different characters from different walks of life in the film. “Rehearsing for five different characters in just eight days was indeed enough for Bhai,” he says.
