WHAT! Randeep Hooda Lost 26 Kg to play Vinayak Damodar Savarkar; Here's what he ate for 4 months
The teaser for the movie Swatantrya Veer Savarkar, starring Randeer Hooda, was released yesterday in honour of the 140th birth anniversary of revolutionary leader and freedom warrior Vinayak Damodar Savarkar. Randeep Hooda makes his directing debut in this movie, in addition to acting in it. Anand Pandit, the film's producer, stated that Randeep Hooda had gone above and beyond in his preparation for the part and that he had done all possible to ensure that his depiction of Vinayak Damodar Savarkar was accurate.
Anand Pandit said in a conversation with ETimes that Sandeep Singh and Randeep Hooda once came to his office and suggested the idea of creating a Veer Savarkar biography. He claimed that after some initial hesitation, Randeep began to describe their vision for the movie, and that as a result, they were able to complete it in only one day. Anand Pandit was then questioned on the claims that Randeep Hooda lost 18 kg for the part. But according to the producer, Randeep shed a mind-boggling 26 kilogrammes for the part in Swatantrya Veer Savarkar.
Randeep Hooda weighed 86 kg when he and Sandeep Singh visited Anand Pandit's office, according to the actor. He revealed that Randeep was so invested in the part that he went above and above to portray it on screen. He continued by saying that Randeep was on a very restricted diet and that during the final four months of filming, 'he had only one khajoor and one glass of milk.' Anand Pandit confessed that he too cut off his hair exactly where Veer Savarkar had none.
Meanwhile, yesterday, while sharing the official teaser of the film, Randeep Hooda wrote on Instagram, “India’s Most Influential Revolutionary. The Man most feared by the British. Find out WhoKilledHisStory @randeephooda in and as SwantantryaVeerSavarkar In Cinemas 2023.”
