“It is very sad that we say goodbye to famous makeup artist Vikram Gikwad. I was happy to work with him in films like Dangal, PK, and Rang de Basanti, to make some names. He was a true master of his craft, and we would convert all of us into unfamiliar characters. Dada,” Superstar said in a statement.
Ranveer Singh, who worked with him on the film 83, shared a picture of Gikwad on Instagram with a simple note: “Dada,” with a pigeon and folded hands emoticons.
Actor Varun Dhawan also remembered Gaikwad with his cooperation in Badlapur.
“Calling him a ‘true magician”, the actor wrote: “I enjoyed working with Vikram Gikwad sir in Badlapur. He helped me design his look in every detail. A true magician carried forward Indian cinema. Thank you, Thank you, Dada.” Om Shanti. “
Actor Arjun Kapoor, who collaborated with Gikwad on Pinipad, in his Instagram stories “described with a gentle soul with a soft soul.”
“Dada was enjoyed to see and praise when we did Pinipat together.
Parineeti Chopra also recalled the late makeup artist as she shared a note on her Instagram stories.
“Our mythological Vikram Dada. Relax in peace. It was an honor to work with you, learn from you, and watch your magic. In your fear forever.”
Gikwad started his brilliant career with the film Sardar and became a transformational force in makeup artistry for both Bollywood and regional cinema. His broad credit includes major Hindi films like Uri: The Surgical Strike, Dangal, PK, Omkara, Delhi -6, 3 Idiots, Kamini, Ishaqia, and Bhaag Milkha Bhaag.
