New Delhi, July 8 (Representative) Actor Aadil Khan has been receiving rave reviews after the trailer of his upcoming war series ‘Shoorveer’ released a couple of days ago. The talented actor Aadil who plays the role of a Special Forces operative in this action packed series, shared how he prepared for his character in ‘Shoorveer’.“Yes, I worked really hard. The moment I was done shooting for ‘Special Ops 1.5’ which is another show on Disney+ Hotstar, I began preparations for ‘Shoorveer’. It took me months to prepare for the character of Salim Kamali and the fact that I was playing a defense personnel was even harder. I had to get an understanding from people who were in defense and they were physically very fit,” Aadil said in a statement on Friday.
“My character is such who does not leave any stone unturned and he performs to the best of his capability as a defence personnel. I went on a strict diet which included proteins and fibers with less carbs. The idea was to not look like a bodybuilder but to start looking like a defence person who is fit,” he said.Aadil further commented, “My training also included workouts related to that idea. I was not only lifting weights but also undertaking outdoor training. I used to take my trainer out on the beach early in the morning and practice mixed martial arts. I also performed workouts related to agility and endurance along with compound workouts.” “Moreover, I was happy with what I achieved by the time we started shooting. I am excited about this and I hope that it translates into the character making it more believable,” he added.
