Rakul Preet Singh on undergoing Rigorous prep
Rakul Preet Singh, in an interview, recently revealed that she had to stay underwater for a special sequence of the film. The shoot, which required her to stay underwater for 2 minutes and 30 seconds, required some rigorous prep that went on for one month. The shoot, meanwhile, was shot in 14 hours. Speaking about her experience, Rakul said, “The film required me to be in a certain frame of mind to understand emotions deeply. On the whole, I did the rigorous prep for a month of truly connecting with my emotions. On training for the underwater sequences, there was a scuba instructor named AzahaanAdenwala who trained me for underwater holding the two mins 30 secs that we were timing for.”
She added. “The biggest challenge to shoot the underwater sequence was that I was in water from 2 p.m. in the afternoon to literally 4 a.m. in the morning and I was wet all day and the water was very cold. They were pouring hot water over me after every shot so that my body does not get extremely cold. Of course, you have burning eyes due to the chlorine in the water and that is also a challenge but I really enjoyed this challenge because it helped me push myself to the limits.”
