Randeep Hooda talks being underweight for long, says ‘It does take a toll on health’

Actor Randeep Hooda, who shocked everyone with his massive weight loss for his 2016 film ‘Sarbajit’, has once again shed kilos for his upcoming biopic of Vinayak Damodar Savarkar. At the ongoing 53rd International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa, Randeep Hooda talked about weight loss and the consequences he faced.

Talking to news agency ANI, Randeep said, ‘I have been underweight for a very long time...and I agree I shouldn't have been underweight for too long. However, the biopic on Vinayak Damodar Savarkar demands it and I love to push my limit and do everything possible to do justice to the character I am playing. It's not that I have to undergo transformation out of duty or something. It's just that I like to go through emotions of different characters. This kind of training makes me feel closer to the character.’

However, he agrees that such body transformations are life threatening. He said, ‘It does take a toll on health...so I try to take breaks and pause for a while. Taking breaks really help to undergo tough transformations.’

Seeing his current body transformation even fans are worried about him and raised concerns on social media for the actor.

For ‘Sarbajit’, which talks about the life of Sarbajit Singh who was sentenced to death after he was alleged of spying and terrorism by a Pakistani court, Randeep Hooda starved himself and lost almost 20 kgs in just a month to look like Sarbajit. And now again for his film.
