Actor Dev Joshi is going through extensive training for his role in "Baalveer Returns", even parkour sessions.

Parkour is a training discipline that uses movement that developed from military obstacle-course training. Practitioners aim to get from one point to another in a complex environment, without assistive equipment and in the fastest way possible.

On his preparations, Dev said: "I'm thrilled to be back as Baalveer and I am undergoing a series of changes and I have been preparing for the character since the day I have been roped in for it. Physical fitness is a major aspect of the character... so I have to make sure I never miss gym. I am even undergoing parkour training which helps me bring perfection to the action sequences. I want to explore every possible route to do justice to the character and live up to our viewer's expectations."

"Baalveer Returns" will air on Sony SAB.
