Mumbai, March 6 (NationPress) Actor Ali Fazal is taking his commitment to the next level for his role in the forthcoming fantasy period drama series “Rakht Brahmand”. He disclosed that he has been growing his hair for a year and dedicating 6-7 hours daily to training in order to achieve the ideal physique and immerse himself in traditional Indian martial arts, ensuring that his action scenes appear as genuine as possible.
His preparation involves rigorous weight training, diction enhancement, and deep engagement in ancient Indian martial arts. In addition to physical training, Ali had to grow his hair for over 8 months to fit the look required by the series.
Reflecting on his journey, Ali mentioned, "Accepting the role of Rakht Brahmand was a straightforward choice for me because it’s unlike anything I’ve tackled before. The complexity, the grandeur, and the overall vision of the project are astounding.”
However, he acknowledged that a role of this significance brings substantial responsibility.
“From the very first day, I understood that this would necessitate significant physical and mental preparation. I have been dedicating almost 6-7 hours each day to training—whether it’s lifting weights to sculpt the right physique, attending diction lessons to refine my speech, or engaging in traditional Indian martial arts to render my action scenes as raw and authentic as possible.”
He noted that growing his hair for more than a year was merely one aspect of his transformation.
“The true challenge has been pushing my body and mind beyond their limits. This journey has been demanding yet incredibly fulfilling. I eagerly anticipate audiences witnessing the universe we are crafting with Rakht Brahmand.
“Rakht Brahmand” is produced by filmmakers Raj & DK and directed by Rahi Anil Barve. The series boasts a remarkable cast including Aditya Roy Kapur, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, and Wamiqa Gabbi.
Discussing how this role has transformed him, Ali stated: “This role required something entirely different from my previous work. Growing my hair for over a year was a deliberate choice to completely immerse myself in the character’s universe.”
“It wasn’t solely about appearance; it was about embracing the essence of the role and making sure every detail felt authentic. It’s been a journey of patience and dedication, and I’m thrilled for audiences to see this distinct look and the depth it brings to the narrative.”
Currently, filming is actively taking place at various locations across Mumbai studios.
