Gurfateh Pirzada discusses physical training for ‘The Revolutionaries’
Actor Gurfateh Pirzada has revealed that much of the intensive Kalaripayattu and lathi training he underwent for his role in the streaming series ‘The Revolutionaries’ is not visible on screen.
During promotional events in Mumbai, Pirzada discussed the physical demands of portraying the historical freedom fighter Bagha Jatin. He noted that he had to undergo significant physical training and gain 10-15 kg to achieve the character's physicality. He, along with co-stars Rohit Saraf and Bhuvan Bam, trained extensively in traditional martial arts to better immerse themselves in the world of the show, even though the training itself does not feature prominently in the final production.
Pirzada also emphasized the importance of understanding the character's psyche through repeated script readings and credited director Nikkhil Advani for his guidance during the process.
