Actor Adarsh Gourav, who will be next seen in the role of Neil, in the coming-of-age film Kho Gaye Hum Kahan, recently revealed the process of getting into the shoes of the character, who is a Callisthenics trainer in the film.

“For Kho Gaye Hum Kahan, I wanted to delve into the essence of Callisthenics and portray it with authenticity,” says Adarsh. “It required intense training and a deep understanding of the discipline. The director’s vision motivated me to push my limits and strive for perfection in every aspect, including my physical transformation.”

A source close to the production also revealed, “Adarsh became a gym geek, immersing himself in a rigorous fitness regime to authentically portray the nuances of his character. Zoya Akhtar's vision demanded not just acting prowess but a physicality that resonates with the role.”

Apart from Adarsh, the film, helmed by debutant director Arjun Varain Singh, also stars Ananya Panday and Siddhant Chaturvedi. It has been co-written by Zoya Akhtar and Reema Kagti. The film is produced by Excel Entertainment's Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar and Tiger Baby.

It is scheduled to premiere on Netflix on December 26.
