Mumbai, Sep 13 Director Ravi Udyawar has shed some light on the exhilarating transformation of actor Siddhant Chaturvedi for his upcoming power-packed-thriller 'Yudhra'.
Talking about Siddhant's transformation, Ravi shared: "Yes, he lost a lot of weight to be that young cadet. Towards the end, he gained a lot of weight. His face was rugged and you can see the transformation. If you look at the trailer, he bulked up,”
“I told him yes, he can eat a lot of food. It's very important that he can eat a lot of food before he wakes up. That's the 'Yudhra' that stands in the fight," he said.
He went on to say, "So I can say that he lost around 20 kgs. I can't tell you the exact weight, I'll ask Siddhant and let you know. His trainer did everything meticulously".
Udyawar also revealed that Siddhant underwent hefty training in martial arts for the role.
"Yes, he was doing a lot of things. He is a hardworking guy. I mean, he had to train himself. I wanted the action to be real. I wanted him to be careful about his safety. I wanted him to be realistic and hand-to-hand. That's what I wanted him to do. So, I trained him," he added.
