Apart from the physical transformation, this was also an emotional journey for him. “It gave me a lot emotionally, taught me a lot about how he must have felt deprived of things. I went crazy. I went mad. Solitude can kill you,” he said. The actor shared that after a while, his mother felt like he was just killing himself and she could not watch his process.

Randeep said, “My mother was also here and she left. She said I can’t see you do this. She tried to stop me. She would make things that I like. She asked, ‘Why are you killing yourself?’ She left for Haryana, saying ‘I can’t take this anymore.’” The actor recalled that to lure him into eating, his mother would make his favourite dishes like Gajar Palak, Kheer and Choorma.

On the film front, Randeep Hooda is set to star in Unfair and Lovely with Ileana D’Cruz.
