No make-up allowed on the set of 'Begum Jaan'
National award-winning director Srjit Mukherji, who makes his Bollywood debut with 'Begum Jaan', the Hindi adaptation of his Bengali film 'Rajkahini', is known for being extremely thorough with his research. While shooting the Vidya Balan-starrer, he decided to keep the look of the characters real. And for that, the cast was advised to use minimal make-up.
However, some of the girls would cheat and turn up on the set with an evidently caked-up face. Srijit, being the taskmaster that he is, would notice it instantly, and check everyone's make-up before shooting. Srijit recalls, "It became a ritual for a few days. I was like a school teacher who would check make-up and nails. I used to sit with wet tissues and wipe off all the extra make-up. Since the story is set in a different world, I didn't want them to have heavy make-up and manicured nails."

‘Begum Jaan’ Gets 12 Major Cuts; Vidya Balan Not Allowed To Abuse
Sorry, but you won’t have the pleasure of hearing Vidya Balan talk dirty in her new film Begum Jaan. Playing the madame of a brothel, cussing and abusing were a part of the Balan-esque lexicon in this film. However the CBFC has stepped in to scrub the actress’ mouth clean.
In spite of being certified for an ‘Adult’ viewership and the brave nonchalant declarations of the film’s director about “no cuts”, Begum Jaan, the forthcoming film by Bengali director Srijit Mukherjee about a brothel on the border under threat of being torn apart by the partition of India, has been censored and slashed in a major way.
Srijit Mukherji: Vidya was destined to do 'Begum Jaan'
Director Srijit Mukherji says actress Vidya Balan initially declined to be a part of 'Rajkahini' but he decided to approach her again for the Hindi remake, 'Begum Jaan'. The actress instantly said yes for the Hindi remake and Srijit believes Vidya was destined to be a part of the project. Vidya will be seen as a brothel owner in a survival set against the backdrop of Partition.
In the Movie Vidhya Balan owns the role of brothel owner.
