Sanjay had four days before his first shoot

Sanjay was 23 and had just landed the lead in a Bhojpuri film. Days before shooting, the cameraman told him to get his smile fixed or lose the role.

His upper front teeth tilted forward and there was a wide gap between the middle two. Braces take months, and he had four days. Over three days we made and fitted six porcelain laminates on his upper front teeth, closing the gap and straightening the look of the tilt. He started shooting on the fourth day.
