In cinema, actors often go to extraordinary lengths to bring their characters to life, sometimes undergoing remarkable physical transformations that leave audiences in awe. And to the list has now joined ace Punjabi Singer Singga who is known for his chart-topping tracks like Shadow and numerous other hit music videos, is stepping into new territory with his debut film Fakkar, undertaking unrecognizable transformations for his role, proving his dedication and versatility.
Renowned Punjabi singer Singga is all set to venture into acting with his own production house Boss Boy production, by writing, directing, and conceptualizing the entire film by himself. As if that weren’t impressive enough, the singer-turned-actor has undergone a jaw-dropping transformation, complete with intricate prosthetic makeup, to embody the character of Fakkar.
Singga’s dedication to his craft is evident in his approach to this project. Sharing his excitement and the immense challenges of bringing Fakkar to life he says, “This film and character is very close to my heart as it’s entirely my creation—from the concept to direction to writing. With this movie, our vision is that even North cinema films also make a hit at the box office now and I feel Fakkar is one of them.”
Talking about the intense makeup and its transformation he says, “To accurately depict the intense and mysterious persona of Fakkar, I had spent 6-7 hours daily in the prosthetic makeup chair. The transformation of the character required attention to in-depth details—from facial features to body language. From burn marks to rugged textures, the prosthetics had to bring that intense, deadly look terrifyingly realistic. The team ensured that every element had to be consistent for the character to feel authentic and unrecognizable. It’s been a challenging, time-consuming yet rewarding journey, bringing this character to life, but it’s worth every moment. I’m thrilled to see how the audience reacts to this wild and badass avatar.”
Singga has constantly updated all his fans with his intense look and a few BTS glimpses from his shoots on his social media, fueling excitement and curiosity about his film.
