In the photo, Randeep can be seen standing shirtless, revealing his drastic weight loss transformation. The actor appears visibly undernourished, with a significantly slimmer frame, frail limbs, and an almost-visible rib cage. Captioning the photo "KAALA PAANI," he accompanied it with hashtags like "#SwatantryaVeerSavarkar" and "#WhoKilledHisStory."

Reportedly, the 47-year-old actor has shed an impressive 30 kg to authentically embody the late freedom fighter during his time at the cellular jail in Andaman. A couple of days ago, Ranjit Savarkar, the grandson of Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, commended Randeep for his dedication towards the role, expressing gratitude for bringing his grandfather's story to life on the silver screen.
