Directed by Buchi Babu healthyWho previously directed the acclaimed ‘Uppena’, has revealed that he trained almost every day for eight months to build the Pehelwan physique required for the role and his preparation went beyond the gym. Talking about the process, Sana insists that building muscle is only part of the equation, and Ram Charan also had to completely internalize the character’s body language, walk and rugged demeanor to make the transformation feel organic on screen.
