<p>It was not easy for Amit Sadh to be a part of Tigmanshu Dhulia’s upcoming friendship drama Yaara as the actor says he had to undergo a rigorous weight training regime to fit into the role of a gangster.</p>.<p><br />Sadh, 32, said in the film his character goes through a transition from a young adult to an aged man.<br /><br />“It was a challenging role to play. The character starts from 25 and goes through till he turns 50-year-old. I had to gain and lose weight to don the transition in my role. My director, Tigmanshu Dhulia helped me a lot to understand the role. He is a great director and is known for making people act,” Sadh told PTI.<br /><br />The actor, who recently wrapped up the shooting of the film, said Yaara is a period drama that travels to the time period of 1975 to the current day.<br /><br />“I have finished my leg of shooting schedule. It’s a gangster film in the backdrop of friendship. It is also a period drama, which starts from 1975 and transcends into today’s time,” he said. The film stars Vidyut Jamwal and Shruti Haasan in pivotal roles besides the Kai Po Che actor.<br /><br />Apart from Yaara, Sadh will be next seen in Shoojit Sircar’s Runningshaadi.com opposite Taapsee Pannu. <br /><br />In the love story, he plays a Bihari boy who works hard to make ends meet in Punjab. “The film is a story about a boy and girl. It is set in Punjab. I play a Bihari guy, who stays in Punjab and manages his living by working in a garment store. He eventually falls in love with the daughter of the owner. He launches a marriage website too to help people to get married,” he said.<br /><br />The actor, who is making a comeback to the big screen after a gap of two years, said he has never planned his career. Asked if it is a conscious decision to do different roles, Sadh said, “I have never planned my career. I feel an artiste is much different from a lawyer and accountant, who can calculate their next step. I simply get up every day and thank God for giving me whatever I have in my life,” he said. <br /></p>
