Fans of Siddhant Chaturvedi are definitely thrilled to see him in a different avatar as they received a glimpse of the same in the recently released trailer of Yudhra. While the actor is busy promoting the film along with co-stars Malavika Mohanan and Raghav Juyal, the director of the film, Ravi Udyawar, best known for the Sridevi starrer Mom, was seen opening up about his collaboration with Chaturvedi and couldn’t stop appreciating him.
In a recent interview, Ravi Udyawar shared insights into the remarkable physical transformation that Siddhant Chaturvedi had to undergo for his role in the film wherein he revealed that the actor went through a significant weight fluctuation to portray the character of Yudhra, a journey that demanded significant dedication and hard work. "He lost a lot of weight to be that young cadet. Towards the end, he gained a lot of weight. His face was rugged and you can see the transformation. If you look at the trailer, he prepared himself doing martial arts and physically bulked up,” Udyawar said.
“I told him yes, it's very important that he prepares mentally too. That's the Yudhra that stands in the fight," he shared. Adding to the point about Siddhant’s transformation, he continued, "So I can say that he lost around 20 kgs. I can't tell you the exact weight, I'll ask Siddhanth and let you know. His trainer did everything meticulously.”
When asked about whether Siddhant had to train for martial arts, Udyawar mentioned, “Yes, he was doing a lot of things. His trainer worked meticulously with him, incorporating jiu-jitsu and other martial arts forms, including Animal Flow. He also trained throughout the pandemic, setting up a makeshift gym at home since gyms were closed. He is a hardworking guy. I mean, he had to train himself. I wanted the action to be real. I wanted him to be careful about his safety. I wanted him to be realistic and hand-to-hand. That's what I wanted him to do. So, I trained him.”
Yudhra, releasing in theatres on September 20, is directed by Ravi Udyawar and written by Farhan Akhtar and Sridhar Raghavan. It promises to be an action-packed cinematic experience, with Siddhant Chaturvedi and Malavika Mohanan taking on the lead roles. Siddhant portrays the intense and revenge-driven Yudhra, while Malavika’s character Nikhat becomes the strong emotional anchor to the story. Produced by Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar under the banner of Excel Entertainment, Yudhra also features a stellar supporting cast, including Raghav Juyal, Gajraj Rao, Ram Kapoor, and Raj Arjun.
