Siddhant Chaturvedi had a busy 2020 charted out before the pandemic disrupted his plan. Amid buzz that he will kick off the shoot of Shakun Batra's yet-untitled drama in Goa in September — six months after it was originally scheduled to roll — the actor says he has been toiling away at his home gym for the past eight weeks to achieve a lean frame for the movie.

"I have to look like a Dharma boy," he chuckles, before adding, "My character in Bunty Aur Babli 2 is that of a boy-next-door and has a desi flavour. In Shakun's film, I play an urban and contemporary character. I weighed 84 kilos when doing Bunty Aur Babli 2, and had to shed four kilos to fit into the part Shakun envisioned me in."
