Randeep Hooda starrer Swatantra Veer Savarkar hasn’t got a good response at the box-office but one thing is for sure that with this movie, Randeep Hooda has once again shown that there are very few people in this industry who match his devotion and dedication towards work.
Randeep Hooda made his directorial debut with this movie and he lost 32 kgs of weight for the role which is certainly a big thing. Well, this was not the first time that Randeep Hooda went under transformation, he has lost weight for some of his earlier movies as well but this time, it was difficult for him to work because he was working as a director as well.
Randeep Hooda stated, “Being starving and underweight as an actor is a luxury, being starving and underweight as a director is a curse. Because you lose patience, you don’t have patience and you’re hungry. People are having lunch breaks, evening nashta breaks, that break and you’re just a person sitting there hungry. When you’re hungry you have more energy. So that was a very big thing which I think everybody suffered from me as a hungry person on set… I had lost about 30 to 32 kilos by the end of it.”
He said, “It was very very challenging. One thing that happens to every human being is that they lose patience when they’re starving. That’s the first thing that happens and you get too much energy and you say something even softly but it comes across in a different manner.”
He further added, “All scripts that I’ve ever done as an actor, I know them inside out, sometimes more than other people, and I’m always on the ball and I usually follow the screenplay, and of course, there are basic characteristics to every human being that you play and then you make that into a larger thing. In this case, I paid the least amount of attention to myself while acting. I was always paying attention to the cinematography, to other characters, to the scene work and all that. Oftentimes I used to forget to take my own shot.”
