Manoj Bajpayee's Unhealthy 'Risk' For 'Gali Guleiyan'

Darpan News Desk IANS, 31 Aug, 2018 03:59 PM
    Actor Manoj Bajpayee lost weight drastically to look like a sick man in the forthcoming film "Gali Guleiyan". He says that what he did was not healthy, but it's one of the risks that one takes for a job that he or she is obsessed with.
     
     
    Manoj will be seen playing a paranoid man struggling with his impounded psyche in the film, written and directed by Dipesh Jain.
     
     
    Asked about his weight loss, Manoj said during a visit to the IANS headquarter here on Friday: "It was a massive diet chart. What I was doing was not healthy. Going off protein is not healthy. It can damage you forever. One takes a risk for a job that one is doing and is very obsessed with. 
     
     
    "I wanted to have that kind of a look of a sick man by losing weight drastically... So much so that the immune system got completely hampered. I started falling sick...sometimes viral and I am not somebody who catches fever so easily. I have been blessed that way. But in a month's time, I fell sick many times."
     
     
    He also started talking to himself.
     
     
    "Talking to oneself had become a regular thing in my household. My wife used to wonder what I had just mumbled to her. She used to ask me 'Did you say something? Are you talking to yourself? That's not a good sign. Please take care of yourself'. 
     
     
    "You know running on a treadmill and feeling... suddenly coming back to senses. You realise that you ran for four to five minutes without really being there. Those were the dangerous signs that I went through while internally preparing as an actor.
     
     
    "It is a tough task. It can damage you in many ways," he said.
     
     
    Produced by Shuchi Jain of Exstant Motion Pictures, "Gali Guleiyan" will release on September 7.
