Actor-filmmaker Prithviraj Sukumaran has talked about his transformation for 바카라The Goat Life바카라 and shared that he knew he would have to go through a drastic physical transformation, losing a lot of weight and looking very emaciated.
The Malayalam film 'Aadujeevitham' or 'The Goat Life' is directed by Blessy.
The film is based on Benyamin바카라s bestselling 2008 novel of the same name and tells the true story of Najeeb, an immigrant labourer from Kerala forced into slavery on a remote goat farm in a Middle Eastern country.
바카라I knew as an actor that this was a prerequisite, that to actually portray the entire character arc, I바카라d have to go through this drastic physical transformation of losing a lot of weight and looking very emaciated,바카라 Sukumaran told variety.com.
For the film, which was shot across Kerala, Jordan and Algeria, Prithviraj had to increase his weight to 98 kg for the Kerala part of the shoot and for the scenes where he first arrives in the Middle East. The production then paused for seven months while Sukumaran shed 31 kg.
바카라I surprised myself and everyone in the film crew, because when I landed up the next time in Jordan, I was almost unrecognisable,바카라 Sukumaran said.
The actor did not bargain on Covid-19, which stalled the shoot immediately after a scene where his emaciated body was revealed, and the crew was stranded in locked-down Jordan for months.
They came back after a year and a half, during which the star had to regain weight just to stay healthy.
바카라But then I had to redo the whole thing. I didn바카라t count on having to do the whole weight loss transformation process two times, which I ended up having to do, because it바카라s a trap. Once you get to that level and you do a portion of the film, then it almost becomes like a thought process in your head. 바카라No, I can바카라t let it go'. I put in so much effort. I can바카라t let all that go to waste,바카라 he said.
바카라I know a lot of the (media) focus is on the physical transformation, but that is only a small part of the portrayal. At the very beginning, I had thought of the entire arc. And I had told Blessy that it was going to be impossible for me as an actor to look at it as one long, singular character,바카라 Sukumaran said.
Up next for Prithviraj is filmmaker Ali Abbas Zafar바카라s actioner 'Bade Miyan Chote Miyan', where he plays the antagonist to Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff, reports variety.com.
Talking about the film, he said: 바카라It바카라s pretty much planned to be a franchise if things go well. You look at James Bond or 바카라Mission Impossible', in each film, the actual story is the villain바카라s and then the hero comes to save the world.바카라
Prithviraj shared that the crux of the film, the plot, is actually his character Kabir바카라s story and because of that, the character arc is beautiful.
He said: 바카라It바카라s a very complex character. It바카라s not your typical one-note bad guy. There is a past, there is a reason why he바카라s wearing the mask, why his voice is that way. It was a really fun character to play. And I don바카라t get offered to play these really cool bad guys very often.바카라
'Bade Miyan Chote Miyan' releases this week during the Eid frame.
