Cinematographer Sunil KS recently opened up about Prithviraj's nude scene in the film for which the actor prepped in a disciplined manner. “For the naked scene, Prithviraj was fasting for three days, not even water on the last day; before the shoot, he took 30ML Vodka to drain the remaining water from the body. He was carried in a chair to the location. We needed to lift him from the chair before the shot.”
Wow 👏
