As translated by X user Christopher Kanagaraj, Sunil said, “Prithviraj fasted for three days, without drinking anything on the last day, for the nude scene; before the shoot, he drank 30ML of Vodka to drain any residual water from his body. He was taken there on a chair. We had to move him out of the chair before the shoot..”

Prithviraj told a news portal that he dropped 31 kilogrammes to achieve his thin look. "I personally never imagined that this was feasible. [The most challenging aspect of it was] the hunger. Because it did not entail dieting, it involved me not eating. My metamorphosis was mostly due to fasting. There were instances when I went on a three-day fast," he explained.
