My life changed ever since Sarbjit happened : Randeep Hooda
"Never anticipated will see this phenomenal pre-release response for Sarbjit. One goes about doing his job. I think ever since my weight loss in prison picture came out
this happened and my life has changed," the 'Main Aur Charles' actor told IBNS during a visit to Kolkata last weekend.
Asked if it was mentally taxing to portray characters like Charles Sobhraj (Main Aur Charles) and now Sarbjit Singh and if he lived with the characters 24x7 during shoots, Randeep said, "Of course you should live with them. That's the only way."
"A singer is an artiste, a painter is an artiste, a dancer is an artiste. You know how much riyaz they have to do to perfect the art. If an actor is an artiste he has to do the same thing," Randeep said.
Sarbjit, also starring Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, is based on the real life tale of Indian farmer Sarbjit who was convicted and sentenced to death in Pakistan on charge of
spying. It had two market screenings on the first weekend of the 69th Cannes Film Festival.
Randeep, who is also turning up in Salman Khan-starrer Sultan directed by Ali Abbas Zafar as Salman's character's wrestling coach, said "My role in Sultan is a terrific and
interesting role but you must watch Sallubhai."
Randeep, the brand ambassador of well known fabrics brand Indian Terrain, said he found Kolkata girls beautiful with wonderful fashion sense.
"Men here could also be a little more fashionable," he observed.
On ways to beat the Kolkata heat, the sweating Randeep said "wear good cotton and drink lot of coconut water."
