Sohum Shah spends seven hours daily to get the right look for period drama

Sohum Shah, who impressed many with his performance in Ship Of Theseus, is currently shooting for his next, Tumbad. Excited about being a part of a period drama, the actor-producer is leaving no stone unturned to fit the role perfectly.
Sohum, who was required to bulk up for the film, followed a rigorous regimen and put on eight kilos. What’s more, the actor has worn prosthetics in certain parts of the movie and would sit through seven-hour-long prosthetic make-up sessions before the shoot.

About the experience, he says, “The film is set in the colonial era of Maharashtra. So my character had to look a certain way. Since it took me about seven hours to just get into the look, I had to wake up at dawn and begin with the make-up.”
However, the actor is happy going the extra mile for the character. “It’s a very challenging role — not just mentally, but also physically,” he concludes.
