Mumbai: Actor Sahil Khattar, whose streaming show 'Bajao' released on Friday, has shared that his character in the show is a mixture of brain and brawn, someone who is highly intelligent and has low patience.
For his role in the series, Sahil underwent physical transformation. Talking about his part in the series, the actor said: "I am playing Dhaari Punia in ‘Bajao’. He is this Haryanvi guy who is very robust and a mixture of brain and brawn. He is the one who brings in all jugaad and plans for everybody to get out of problems. I am originally from Panchkula which is next to Chandigarh. When I represented India in this sport called Roller Hockey, we had a lot of guys from places like Kurukshetra, Rohtak, Hisar and Karnal.”
He further mentioned: “So whilst spending time with them I learnt a lot about the Haryanvi dialect. I always had this thing in me. And I believe in every actor there lies an Aamir Khan, so for my need for perfection I actually underwent a workshop and I figured out how much dialect needs to be used where all. So we have gone ahead with only 10 to 20 per cent of the accent and not just that, I watched a lot of shows, films etc and did my research just to get the accent perfect.”
“These aspiring guys in Haryana have this very peculiar body language, so we have tried to achieve things to this level. Guys from Haryana are very quirky and they have a very dry humour, so we have tried to inculcate this too,” he concluded.
‘Bajao’ is streaming on JioCinema.
