Two legends on different sides of the globe, the two great figures reminisced about their remarkable 40 year old friendship and professional journey.

The duo went on to speak about their collaborations in various projects such as ‘Indian’, ‘Avvai shanmughi’ and ‘Dasavatharam’.

Taking to Instagram, the veteran actor shared a picture of himself with Westmore and captioned: “From (The arrow in the sun ) Soldier blue where I saw Mike Westmore’s work to this day, I have admired Mike’s work from inside out. Had the joy of working with him on the make up and also wearing it to fame and applause. 40 years have flown with the speed of an arrow.”

Westmore, on the other hand is well known for his contributions to films such as ‘Mask’, ‘Star Trek: Next Generation’ and ‘Raging Bull’ earning him critical acclaim for his work.
