Actor-producer Sohum Shah, who won accolades for his performance in the much-acclaimed film Ship of Theseus, has undergone drastic physical transformation for his next movieTumbad.
Talking about the film, Shah said, “It is a dark period thriller set against colonial India, infused with elements of fantasy. I had to bulk up for my role by following a strict regimen to stay true to the physicality prevalent in 1930s India.”'
Apparently, the makers did several test shoots before finalising Sohum's look for the film and the actor too did thorough research for his role. “My first day on the set, most of the crew found it hard to recognize me,” he says.
Produced by Recyclewala Films, Tumbad marks the directorial debut of Rahi Anil Barve, whose short film Manjha was released by Danny Boyle with the Slumdog Millionaire Blu-Ray.
