Lara Dutta turns on the heat

Lara Dutta is irresistibly glamorous. Now, she has gotten hotter with her new and natural beach look.

The actress plays a Scuba diver in production house Shri Ashtavinayak Cine Vision’s big-budgeted action thriller Blue . While Lara underwent special training in Scuba diving for her role in the film, director Anthony D'Souza and the production team decided Lara needed a special beach look for her character.
So Hollywood make-up artist Nikoletta Skarlatos – who did Keira Knightley’s look in ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ – was roped in to do Lara’s look. Since Lara had to shoot a good many sequences and stunts underwater, Nikoletta was the best choice. She, along with Clarabelle Saldhana, not just did Lara’s make-up for underwater scenes, but also transformed Lara from a demure diva to a sultry beach girl.

Lara says working with Nikoletta was an amazing experience and she picked up a lot of make-up techniques from her.

On the other hand, working on ‘Blue’ has made Nikoletta a fan of Hindi movies.

‘Blue’ is an aqua adventure thriller shot mostly along coastlines, on sea, and under sea. The film’s story is about a bunch of characters after a treasure buried in an ocean.
