Actor Herry Tangiri, who is playing the role of Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh in the biopic 'M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story', had to lose weight to look like the southpaw.

He said, 'I had to train for two months to get into the character of Yuvraj Singh. I had to also lose 15 kgs to look like him.

Being a Punjabi and a foodie, Herry said that it was very difficult for him to lose the extra kilos. 'But my dedication towards the character helped me control my eating habits. Even Yuvraj's father with whom I shared screen space in '
