Darshan Kumaar, who shot to fame with Omung Kumar's Mary
Kom, will be next seen in Kumar's forthcoming directorial Sarbjit, in which he
will play a Pakistani lawyer and we heard that Kumaar learned Urdu for his role
as he will be seen speaking in the language in the movie.
The actor will be playing the role of Awais Sheikh, a
Pakistani lawyer who left no stone unturned to get justice for Sarbjit Singh,
an Indian farmer, who was convicted on charges of espionage.
A source close to the fine actor disclosed that as Darshan
is playing a Pakistani lawyer, most of his dialogues required him to speak in
pure Urdu. The actor, who hails from a Jat family, had never spoken authentic
Urdu but for the role, the actor learnt basic Urdu words and the accent too. It is also known that to get an in-depth
knowledge of his character, Darshan had regularly been in touch with the real
Awais Sheikh, who is presently in Sweden.
Darshan Kumaar told, "I have been to Pakistan couple of
times for my theatre shows, while staying in Lahore i had interacted with
locals quite often so I had a few images in my mind on how their body language
and accent is. During that time I discovered that a lot of them speak Urdu with
a touch of Punjabi language and my friends who were based there helped me to
catch the language. That's how i gained my initial knowledge and then it was
all about mugging the dialogues and doing continuous rehearsals.''
Apart from Darshan Kumaar, Sarbjit also stars Aishwarya Rai
Bachchan, Randeep Hooda and Richa Chadda.
