Sidharth Malhotra in Jabariya Jodi
Sidharth Malhotra's character preparation for Jabariya Jodi included references and meetings with the head of the groom kidnapping business from Bihar. Speculations are rife that while preparing for his role in the upcoming entertainment Jabariya Jodi, Sidharth Malhotra had been introduced to the leader of the pack of men who are in the groom kidnapping business in Bihar, the concept on which the film is based.
The film is inspired from true events and the characters in the film had to be done with exact precision, for which Sidharth had to observe the lifestyle and the mannerisms of men who are actually in the business of kidnapping men, and selling them to the families of the bride.
According to the sources, Sid met many people from Bihar who are in the business of kidnapping grooms.
Jabariya Jodi is a film which has been made on the concept of 'Pakadwa Shaadi', wherein men have been kidnapped, captured randomly from a number of districts, and gotten them married to brides at gunpoint, in the state of Bihar. The whole idea started when a poverty-ridden state like Bihar and UP had families where the grooms were demanding high dowries and refusing to get married without taking money.
