“Cannot really deny their choice… The days of yore are over… I mean they could never be reborn as this,” he said, posting another picture in which he can be seen standing with his hands raised to the side with a group of background dancers standing next to him.

“The transformation of the subject from the bright and excited to the sombre and grim is the greatest anathema of movie making. I do swear and promise myself that ‘never again’ shall I ever indulge in sticking wigs and hair for a film… But eventually, get caught in projects that demand just that.
“So…alright for the sake of creative excellence and necessity, I submit,” added the actor, who will next be seen playing a 102-year-old man in 102 Not Out.
