Comments  Comments [ 3 ]    By Anita Menon | 24 February 2015 | 11:24am

Now-a-days actors are walking the extra mile to get into the skin of their character. Months before the shoot of the film the actors get into preparing each and every aspect of their character be it the look, the language, the mannerisms, the body language, etc. And to add to this, some actors even try out an extra activity to get into their role's characteristics. They learn a new skill like new sports, fighting techniques, painting, etc anything to everything to get the role perfected. This is almost like an actor taking a new vocation as they spend months learning, training and practicing, getting the nuances right. They are putting in much more time and effort and going the distance for their characters.

Deepika Padukone: Sword Fighting for Bajirao Mastani

The actor explains that she would have to train in Kalaripayattu (an Indian martial art which is considered to be the oldest fighting system in existence), sword-fighting and horse-riding. The actress shared with HT Caf in a previous interview, "As I have never done a role that requires any of this, it will be hard. I will have to learn from scratch. Horse-riding should be more fun than sword-fighting, but it will also be stressful as I know that the training would have to be done simultaneously with the shooting of the film. I will shoot probably 12-15 hours a day, and the preparation will be done alongside that,"
