Here’s how Abhishek Bachchan is preparing to play Sahir Ludhianvi
Abhishek Bachchan has lost a lot of weight and reading as much literature penned by the writer as possible to play the famous poet Sahir Ludhianvi in the latter’s biopic, produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali
Celebs And Cinema had earlier reported how Abhishek Bachchan has been roped in by Sanjay Leela Bhansali for his another ambitious project, a biopic on poet and lyricist Sahir Ludhianvi. Abhishek Bachchan has now started with the preparations for his famous onscreen portrayal. Since Ludhianvi had a lean body type, the actor has reportedly lost oodles of weight to get into the skin of the character and is also increasing his knowledge about the many works of the poet. To be produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, the Sahir Ludhianvi biopic will mark the directorial debut of Jasmeet Reen. While Sanjay Leela Bhansali has been busy with ‘Padmavati’ of late, Abhishek is currently working on JP Dutta’s multi-starrer war film ‘Paltan’.
