He has several <br />mannerisms that set him apart from the rest of his college mates.</p>.<p class="Question">Tells us about your look in the poster.</p>.<p class="bodytext">The poster has me standing atop a college building in a funny superman attire with 35/100 etched on my T-shirt. There is a subtle introduction of a character in the film called Mr Pachbale (Banana). The poster effectively conveys my character as Abhi. The film is a tribute to students of engineering. I think they are all superheroes because they have to struggle to complete their course.</p>.<p class="Question">What are the preparations that went into your role? I had to shed almost 10 kg to look like a college boy. We had to also play around with the hairstyle and tweak the body language to suit the character. I also spent time with a few engineering students to get an insight into their culture and way of life.</p>.<p class="Question">On working with Avantika Shetty...</p>.<p class="bodytext">This is the second time that Avantika and I are pairing up after 'RangiTaranga'. She is a thorough professional who prepares well before every scene. We also have the freedom to tell her what works and what doesn't. She is open to suggestions.</p>.<p class="Question">Has marriage changed anything?</p>.<p class="bodytext">In fact, marriage has made things better for me. Dhanya, my wife, has studied filmmaking in <br />New York for two years and has assisted Anup in 'RangiTaranga' for two months. I always discuss my character and scenes with her and she tells me what works and what doesn't.</p>
