Sidharth Malhotra prepares for Yodha.
Sidharth Malhotra discusses his preparation for Yodha, revealing, “I lost weight for it and received a different type of training. It began with extensive preparation to determine what looks best on my body. We practiced a lot of hand-to-hand combat with Craig and his team.”
Craig is the mastermind behind action scenes in blockbusters such as War, Pathaan, and Jawan. The action director praised Sidharth Malhotra, saying, “It was new for Sid to be using knife techniques and close quarter combat in such confined spaces. He was very easy to teach choreography and techniques because if you showed him something once, he picked it up right away.”
It’s a pleasure to see Sidharth Malhotra prepare for his role with such dedication. Even director Sagar Ambre lavished praise on his lead actor.
