Playing a blind person’s role is the toughest as we don’t know how they see the world. One can only imagine and then portrait the character or learn from someone who is really blind to the world.
Jamie Foxx in his movie “Ray” perfectly fits to the role of Ray Charles who is a blind musician. He went blind for each day by using a special covering that shuts his eyes for more than 14 hours.
Not only this, he also chipped his teeth and lost weight to get into the shoes of Charles.
On the other hand, Bollywood movie ” Andhadhun” was about a person who isn’t blind but lost his vision temporarily. Ayushmann learned the behaviour of blind people and visited visually challenged people.
He used to wore blindfolds to get into the character and read scripts like that only.
