Abhishek Bajaj was last seen in Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui. He played the antagonist Sandy, who happens to be a fitness athlete. Abhishek has got a good physique and he amped up his bodybuilding routine to look the part. In fact he even got injured and got 16 stitches and yet kept on shooting despite that. He adds that he had no qualms about playing a negative character. "Sandy wasn't evil but arrogant. He thought he was the best and lost in the end because of his arrogance. It was a physically challenging role as I had to look the part but there were layers to it as well," he explains.
He had a good time shooting the film with his brother' Ayushmaan Khurrana. They bonded over workouts, Punjabi food and music. He says he's been bowled over by Ayushmaan's professionalism. "He had to bulk up for Chandigarh... and was totally committed to it. I love the fact that he follows a vision and has been signing films in accordance with that vision. It was a learning experience working with him," he gushes.
