In fact, says the duo, Maniesh lost over 20kgs for one role and gained almost as much weight for another during the course of the shoot. They recall, "Despite being claustrophobic, he wore heavy prosthetics in intense heat. He even learned the local dialect of each city where the characters were located for the sake of authenticity. He loves challenges and pushed his boundaries to mould himself into a new person each time."

In the sensational recent teaser of Rafuchakkar, Maniesh is seen playing a gym instructor, a wedding planner, a 70-year-old man and of course, a Prince who specializes in swindling the rich and the corrupt and then finds himself caught in a dangerous web of lies and deceit. The series also stars Priya Bapat, Aksha Pardasany and Sushant Singh.
