Now, for the preparation of this coming of age story, Chai had to get into a rigorous schedule. So he will be playing someone who transcends through three different timelines, hence to play the role of a 16 year old boy, he has over 16 Kgs of weight. The transformation was so jaw-dropping that everyone in the sets was surprised! Talk about dedication.
