After loosing oodles of weight to get into the skin of his character, Randeep Hooda has finally started shooting for his upcoming Sarbjit in Punjab.
Since the story is based on a family from Punjab, the director has chosen locations, which are relevant to the events in Sarbjit’s life.
According to a source from the sets, when Randeep Hooda came on set donning Sarbjit’s avatar in Bhikiwind the villagers who were gathered around the set got really emotional. Randeep’s look was so realistic that it made many of them nostalgic and brought a smile on their face. Also, an old villager who was close to Sarbjit also called out Randeep as “Sarbjit”.
The emotional moment turned into a happy one when the kind hearted actor acknowledged all this love by spending time with villagers who were waiting just to have word with him.
Talking about it a source from the sets confirms, “It was a really emotional moment for all the villagers as they could see a lot of Sarbjit in Randeep. His body language and look is just like Sarbjit before he accidentally crossed over to Pakistan in 1990. It was a nostalgic moment for villagers as the recalled the image of Sarbjit after so many years.
