Naiteek Ravval on Hiten Kumar's make-over for 'Aagantuk'- Exclusive

Naiteek Ravval, who recently completed filming his forthcoming thriller 'Aagantuk,' has now shared details about Hiten Kumar's character in an exclusive conversation with ETimes, the filmmaker who changed Hiten Kumar's look to play Shuklaji revealed about his transformation.

Director Naiteek Raval said, "Hitenbhai's look in this film is very special. I have designed the look and as I mentioned earlier no one has seen him the way we have featured him. For the first time in his entire career, he has kept this heavy beard and I am happy I was able to convince him to sport the look. I am thankful to the makeup and hair team for this work."

"He was so much irritated with the itchiness of the beard that he removed it exactly the next morning after the wrap. More than physical transformation he has gone through the emotional transformation of his character. It took a bit of time for him as well to get into the skin of Shuklaji but once he understood the character he was pitch perfect," the director opined in the exclusive conversation.

Apart from Hiten Kumar, 'Aagantuk' also features debut personality Utsav Naik and Gujarati cinema starlet Netri Trivedi in the lead role.
