After Tom Dick and Harry and Funtoosh, actor Anuj Sawhney will be seen as a sharp shooter in Amjad Khan's Tomorrow, scheduled for a January release. Anuj tells CSu00a0 about the changes that he had to make to get into the skin of his character:
Makeover
Says Anuj, "I have always played chocolate boy kind of roles and was in a search of a role which can break this image. Tomorrow did that for me."
Tomorrow is an underworld crime thriller for which Anuj had to make some physical changes in his appearance.

"I grew my hair for three months before the shoot started. I also had to maintain a stubble for two weeks to get a raw look just before the project went on the floor," the actor reveals.
Anuj sports the surma (kaajal) look all through the film and looks rugged with his tanned body. "I used to apply oil all over my body and lie in the sun on my rooftop for an hour every day to get tanned," he reveals.
Stain pain
Anuj also worked on getting yellow and red stains on his teeth. "I used to chew a lot of betel leaves and tobacco to get red and yellow stains on my teeth.
Unfortunately, they are proving to be very difficult to get rid off. I hadn't thought of this at all!" exclaims Anuj.
Calorie friendly
Reveals Anuj, "My character is on the lines of Saif's character in Omkara. Through the entire film, I had to look six-seven years older than I am and so, I started working out thrice a day and doubled my calorie in take."
Anuj consumed protein mass gainers for a month, which helped him put on five-six kilos, but made sure he went running everyday to avoid getting fat.
