en Bollywood News Chhaava trailer launch: Vicky Kaushal weighed 105 kgs to play the lead role; reveals, “Stuntmen were fasting in the month of Ramzan; shot in scorching hot weather for the glory of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj”

Vicky Kaushal, Rashmika Mandanna, producer Dinesh Vijan and director Laxman Utekar launched the trailer of Chhaava at a grand event at Mumbai’s popular single-screen theatre, Plaza. Vicky had a road show which caught widespread attention before coming to Plaza. The excitement at the trailer launch was tremendous as fans of Vicky and Rashmika couldn’t keep calm.

During the question-and-answer round with the media, Vicky Kaushal was asked how he prepped for the role. Dinesh Vijan reminded the journalist that Vicky is the son of action director Sham Kaushal. Dinesh quipped, “First of all, action is in his blood! Let’s get that straight.”

Vicky Kaushal began by saying, “The last action film I did was Uri: The Surgical Strike (2019). Since then, I have been dying to do action. Mujhe yeh nahin pata tha ki yeh ghode pe bitha denge aur talwar aur bhale chalwayenge mujhe! Everything was new. I didn’t know how to ride a horse and had to learn that. I also learned how to fight with swords and spears. I trained for 6 months. I had to gain weight, from 80 kgs to 105 kgs. In short, I gained 25 kgs for this role. Before we went on floors, we extensively trained in action. Joji and Pervez sir supported me a lot.”

Vicky then said, “We shot a major chunk in Wai. It can be seen in the teaser as well. It was filmed in scorching hot weather with 2000 extras and 500 stuntmen. It was also the month of Ramzan. Many of these stuntmen used to film action in such circumstances, that too while fasting. They did that to show the glory of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj.” As expected, there was applause from the fans and media.

Vicky Kaushal continued, “When I used to see something like this, I used to tell Laxman sir, ‘Kuch theek ho raha hai aisi feeling aa rahi hai’. And I feel a bit embarrassed to speak about the prep. Woh kaam ho gaya aur darya mein baha. Jitna tha andar, woh sab de diya iss film ko. I am satisfied that mere andar isse zyada hai nahin ki main de saku kisi film ko!”

Chhaava releases in cinemas on February 14.
