They are from the Northeast. I am also in North India. But I wanted to act like them as an actor. She inspired me as an Indian woman. I was taking over when my companions forced me to do their part.

He went to see Mary Kom. Vittil spent time. Saw the children. Saw her husband. I had to train for about five months to learn the sport. It was not easy. It was hard for him to look like an athlete. Priyanka Chopra said that I was trying to contain their spirit as I was not physically like them.
