Shahid Kapoor gave his all for yet another Vishal Bhardwaj film and this time it is with a Casablanca love twist. Yes, we have been learning a lot about Shahid and Vishal’s forthcoming venture Rangoon of late and now we got hold of some information on how Shahid Kapoor prepared for his role.
Find out why Olympian shooter Ronak Pandit appreciates Shahid Kapoor’s shooting skillsShahid Kapoor apparently required pistol training for the film and he wanted to learn it from one of the best. He approached none other than the champion shooter -Ronak Pandit, who bagged the gold in the Men's 25m Standard Pistol category at the 2006 Commonwealth Games.
Apart from understanding the basics of rifle shooting, Pandit also taught Shahid the methods of gripping the gun, perfecting the stance and aiming at target.
Ronak Pandit excitedly said, “Shooting is probably in Shahid Kapoor's blood. We trained for over a week at my Malad and Worli centres (in Suburban and South Mumbai respectively). We did a lot of exercises to help him understand the technique of using the trigger. We followed the same training process that we do for the Olympics. We shot at different calibers and ranges and did precision shooting to get the angles right. He had a few long distance shots in the film and we wanted him to look convincing. On the last day, we went to the Worli range to shoot the firearm with real bullets,"
Ronak was thrilled to train Shahid Kapoor, who is known to get under the skin of his characters. All praises for the actor and his dedication Pandit added,"Shahid is a really talented man and by day two, he seemed effortless. He picked up the tricks faster than I anticipated and his fitness made the process easier. He is down to earth, almost like a college buddy. Also, given that he is punctual, working with him becomes easier."
Besides Shahid, Rangoon also stars Saif Ali Khan and Kangna Ranaut in lead roles and is slated to release on February 24.
