While the former Miss World impressed viewers in her de-glam avatar, Randeep surprised fans with his first look. The handsome hunk looked so weak that his bone structure was prominent. It was in a scene when Sarabjit was in jail.
Randeep had reportedly lost 18 kgs within 28 days to get into the character and then gained weight within 20 days as the director wanted to shoot a few flashback scenes. Scheduled to be released May 20, the biopic is being produced by Sandeep Singh, Zeeshan Quadri and Omung Kumar. It is expected to be released at the Cannes Film Festival as well.
