Reveals an inside source, “When Mithun Chakroborty was first approached for the film, he refused as it required him to work out rigorously
for the tough look of his
character. However, he then agreed to do the film as he had three months time at hand and enough time to up his fitness.”
“People who exercise know how muscle memory works. When you start working out again after years, it all comes back. We needed someone who could look young, middle-aged and old in the film and he was the only one who could do it,” adds the source.
We hear that Mithun Da then started enjoying his work outs so much that he even stopped eating his rich
Bengali food for more effective results. “Not only has Mithun Da restricted his Bengali food which is very rich, but also invested 25 lakhs and set up a new gym at his Madh Island farm house,” says the source.
His character also required horse riding skills so Mithun Da got a horse and started practicing at his farm house.
