For transforming into Bala, it would require Akshay Kumar to sit through two and a half hours daily into the prosthetics sessions. Since his role is of a ruler, several looks were taken into consideration before they went ahead with the bald look. 3D models were designed for the characters before the looks were finalized. National Award-winning makeup, hair and prosthetic expert Preetisheel Singh, who creates Alauddin Khiljis look in Padmaavat , designed his look and said that it was challenging since he had to absolutely look bald in a way one cant even see five oclock shadow. The costumes for the period section were designed by Rimple and Harpreet Narula who also worked on Padmaavat like Preetisheel. While two schedules of the period portion were shot in Jaisalmer and Mumbai, Sajid Nadiadwala was keen on getting authentic looks for the 1416 era. So, he hired a team with prior experience to create looks for the cast. Housefull 4, directed by Farhad Samji and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, stars Riteish Deshmukh , Bobby Deol, Rana Daggubati, Kriti Sanon , Kriti Kharbanda, Pooja Hegde Nawazuddin Siddiqui , Chunky Panday among others. It is set to release on Diwali 2019. ALSO READ: HOUSEFULL 4 FIRST LOOK: Akshay Kumar is Rajkumar Bala and Harry in this reincarnation comedy
