Taking to his Instagram account, Hooda posted a mirror selfie displaying his shirtless physique, showcasing a significant weight loss. The image portrayed him visibly lean, with a gaunt appearance and prominent rib cage. In the caption, he wrote, “KAALA PAANI,” accompanied by hashtags #SwatantryaVeerSavarkar and #WhoKilledHisStory.
Notably, Savarkar’s grandson, Ranjit Savarkar, disclosed that Hooda underwent a rigorous process, shedding approximately 30 kilograms to authentically represent the late freedom fighter’s appearance during his internment at the cellular jail in Andaman. He commended the actor’s dedication and expressed gratitude for bringing Savarkar’s narrative to the forefront on the cinematic canvas.
Fans praised Hooda’s commitment to his craft, with one user likening him to the “Christian Bale of Bollywood” and another expressing anticipation for an emotionally compelling cinematic experience.
This transformation isn’t the first time Hooda has undergone such a remarkable physical change for a film. He previously underwent extensive weight fluctuations and altered his appearance for the 2016 movie Sarbjit.
Swatantrya Veer Savarkar is slated to release on March 22, 2024, promising to bring the compelling story of the freedom fighter to audiences nationwide.
