Arjun Rampal who plays the character of Rudra Pratap Singh, an ex-officer of the Indian Armed Forces (MARCOS) unit and RAW agent in Nikhil Advani's upcoming movie 'D-Day' went through a thorough makeover for this movie.
The actor who's seen donning stylish suits, jackets, jeans and even crisp Kurtas in his previous movies is seen wearing a lungi with a vest in the movie. Dressed in a blue lungi and white vest with a white knitted skull cap, Arjun looks like the simple everyday Pakistani man, a far cry from his previous glamorous avatars.
Arjun was also heavily involved in the look of his character. So much so, he decided to change his look in the middle of the shoot to match the transition his character goes through.
Nikhil Advani, who completely supported his idea knowing it would benefit the film was impressed with the actor's involvement in the project.
Speaking of Arjun's look in the movie Nikhil Advani said, "Arjun is extremely excited about his character in the movie. This is the first undercover spy character he is playing and he wanted his character to look as authentic as possible. In fact the lungi too was an addition made by Arjun himself! I believe Arjun has far exceeded the expectations created post Rock On & Raajneeti."
Directed by Nikhil, 'D-Day' stars Rishi Kapoor, Irrfan Khan, Arjun, Shruti Haasan, Huma Qureshi, Akash Dahiya, Sree Swara and Chandan Roy Sanyal amongst others. The movie is slated to release on the July 19.
