He is a very rooted and real character. He is extremely interesting and you would all love him. It is very different from what I played in &#39;Kalyug&#39;,&quot; he said at the music launch here.u00a0Hashmi&#39;s look is very different in the movie. &quot;There were a lot of look tests after the character sketch was given. Eventually this one emerged. I had to put on weight for this character. I had to go two shades darker. In the morning, we used to prepare for this, before the shoot.&quot; &quot;I had to even work on my teeth and put things on it to get the look. I dont know how many actors would want to look grotesque on screen. When Dibankar told me, he thought I would say no, but I didn&#39;t. I think its a great opportunity,&quot; he added.&quot;I gained nine-10 kilos. I had to start changing my diet and eat only fast food and pasta on the set.&quot;u00a0The cast includes Abhay Deol, Kalki Koechlin and Bengali actor Prosenjit Chatterjee.u00a0 Talking about the film, Hashmi said: &quot;Its a very normal film. Its relevant and the story is very interesting. I am sure this film will be a landmark film for us. Its an interesting film. We have maintained a commercial outlook with the music of this film.&quot;u00a0After back to back hits like &quot;Jannat 2&quot; and &quot;Murder 2&quot;, Hashmi seems to be one of the biggest stars of Bollywood today.u00a0 Asked whom he wants to dedicate this success to, he said: &quot;I have always said that when a film does well, its because of the team. The entire team contributes to it. It is a synergy of talent. Even if &#39;Shanghai&#39; works, its a team effort. A lot of work goes into a film and its a lot of departments who work together.&quot;u00a0
