With an impressive ensemble cast that includes Saif, Shahid and Kangana, the buzz around Rangoon only seems to be getting more and more interesting. The latest news to make its way out of the film’s sets is around Shahid packing for the film’s Arunchal Pradesh schedule.
For the schedule, filmmaker Vishal Bharadwaj took his entire cast to Arunachal earlier this year to shoot extensive portions of the film. And quite obviously, for long outdoor shoots, everyone prefers to keep their comfort packing in check and make sure they are well equipped for the prolonged stay. However, for Shahid Kapoor, travelling to Arunachal Pradesh meant a lot of packing. And we mean a lot!
According to sources, the actor, who is a devoted follower of the religious order Radha Soami, was very particular about his food and utensils. He was not too comfortable with the utensils used in outdoor catering and preferred to get his own set.
A close source from the sets reveals, “Shahid Kapoor carried around 45 kgs of brown rice for himself. He even carried a few utensils to cook his food separately on the sets.”
And that’s not all, the source further reveals, “He had also carried his gym equipment to ensure he maintained his chiselled body. The actor apparently had around 19 suitcases with him while he was travelling— just enough to suffice for the schedule.”
Another interesting request the actor had for the film’s team was for an A/C room as clearly the existing cold temperature wasn’t a point of worry for him at all. “The actor had also requested the production team to get an A/C despite the temperature hovering around 16 degrees in Arunachal at that time,” said a source.
