Randeep Hooda is back in the news with Swatantra Veer Savarkar. While the movie has got mixed reviews for being too much like a documentary, Randeep Hooda’s performance is inducing goose-bumps like always. The actor shed over 30 kgs to look like a emaciated Savarkar in the British Jail. This is not the first time he has gone to great extent for a role. He had put in great efforts for Sarbjit where he spent months to get that starved body and dishevelled look. However, the movie was talked about more for the presence of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. She even took home some awards for her acting in the movie. Also Read – Aishwarya Rai Bachchan to be a part of Navya Nanda’s podcast? The young entrepreneur spills the beans
