Revealed: that’s how rajkummar got close to his character in bose dead/alive

Being a perfectionist that Rajkummar Rao is, the actor likes to get into the skin of every character that he plays. Right from going on a special diet to put on weight for the role to reading every book possible on Netaji, Rajkummar’s journey to become Subhas Chandra Bose on screen has been a tumultuous one. Rajkummar who will be seen next in ALTBalaji’s most ambitious digital show BOSE Dead/Alive, trained himself not just physically but mentally as well, to make sure his character looks authentic on-screen. To ensure that he got the pulse of the character right, Rajkummar did a very interesting thing. He put up pictures of Subhas Chandra Bose on the mirror of his make-up room, which he used to observe while getting ready or whenever he was in there taking a break. Looking at these pictures, helped him connect with the character and observe and learn Bose’s mannerisms and stay connected with the role.
