New Delhi:

Randeep Hooda, who’s directorial Swatantrya Veer Savarkar is doing nicely on the field workplace, lately opened up about his weight reduction journey which practically killed him. In a brand new interview to Mid-Day, Randeep spoke about his main bodily transformation. Drawing parallels between how he misplaced weight for Sarbjit and Savarkar biopic, Randeep mentioned, “This time around, I was underweight for one-and-a-half years. When the previous producers shelved the movie, I had lost all my muscle mass. I recall passing out and tumbling off [my] horse. My calf was bent at a right angle to my thigh, which makes me realise how weak I may have been… that’s what happens when you deprive yourself of food for a long time. I couldn’t even walk.”

Randeep added, “I had to be losing a kilo a day for a certain number of days… It was very tough. I would often feel extremely weak, and would faint. It’s a terrible thing for an actor to go through. But, I believe, looking the part is something every actor should do. It should be the [very least] one does. I had planned things out, but they didn’t work out. So, the longer that [I had to adhere to the diet], the more frustrated I became. I had to suffer due to a lack of organisation, and had to do it twice over… I absolutely could have died. I was in such a bad state. I [will] try to contractually bind people, if I’m going to attempt something like that.”

Just just a few days forward of the discharge of his directorial debut, Randeep left the Internet buzzing by sharing a behind-the-scenes image from the units of the film.
