My role in 'Yaara' is challenging: Amit Sadh

It was not easy for Amit Sadh to be a part of Tigmanshu Dhulia's upcoming friendship drama ‘Yaara’ as the actor says he had to undergo a rigorous weight training regime to fit into the role of a gangster. Amit, 32, said in the film his character goes through a transition from a young adult to an aged man.

"It was a challenging role to play. The character starts from 25 and goes through till he turns 50-year-old. I had to gain and lose weight to don the transition in my role. My director Tigmanshu Dhulia helped me understand the role. He is a great director and is known for making people act," Amit said.

The actor, who recently wrapped up the shooting of the film, said ‘Yaara’ is a period drama that travels to the time period of 1975 to the current day. The film also stars Vidyut Jamwal and Shruti Haasan in pivotal roles besides the ‘Kai Po Che’ actor.
