As a result of which, Rajkummar Rao has now got into the habit of smoking when he is off the sets too.
Speaking about it the creative producer of Bose-Dead/Alive, Hansal Mehta said, "I was shocked to see that Rajkummar had difficulty breathing in the Ladakh schedule and even more stunned to realise that in the role prep for Bose, he has taken to smoking. The man has no vices, I have seen him at his fittest best, eating healthy, sleeping early and having quinoa, however, to get into the skin of the character of Subhash Chandra Bose, he had to gain 11 kgs and also smoke onscreen. Now he has one vice, smoking!"
