Actor Randeep Hooda has started shooting in Punjab recently. Known to shed oodles of weight to get into the character and was also unrecognized by the director Omung Kumar on the day of the shoot. Because the story is based on a family from Punjab, the director has chosen locations which are relevant to the events in Sarbjit’s life.
The sources from the set when Randeep Hooda had come on set donning Sarbjit’s avatar, the villagers who were gather had gotten really emotional. Randeep’s look was so realistic, it took people down the memory lane with Sarbjit and got a bittersweet smile. Even the old villager who was really close with Sarbjit also recognized Randeep as Sarbjit. The emotional eventually spread, and it turned into a happy moment when Randeep acknowledged his love by spending tremendous time with the villagers who were so excited to have a word with him.
“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.”
