In preparation for his role in *Singham Again*, the actor emphasizes a more instinctive approach to his performance, particularly when working on a mainstream film. He mentions that while he did his homework and revision, being present on set and reacting to the environment and the situation is key. For this role, he was determined not to play the character like a typical villain. Instead, he focused on portraying Danger Lanka with a calmness amidst the chaos, in line with the direction from Rohit Shetty, who envisioned the character as someone who is firm in his beliefs and driven by revenge.
Regarding his physical preparation, the actor was clear about the need for his physicality to reflect the persona of someone capable of destruction. He worked hard to look the part, and his appearance in the film became a notable aspect of his portrayal. He highlights that there’s a lot of physicality in the character, even in moments when he doesn’t speak, such as in his first scene. There’s a lot of projection and posturing in the way he performs, with an awareness of how the camera captures his actions.
Before the release of the film, the actor admits that he wasn’t overly focused on the outcome. He wasn’t concerned with the consequences but was instead hoping the audience would appreciate his work. He mentions that being involved in a big film like *Singham Again* can make one feel a bit numb to the usual promotional pressure, as the film’s scale speaks for itself, and he was more interested in seeing how people reacted to his performance.
