Shahid Kapoor undergoes combat training?

Shahid Kapoor has reportedly commenced combat training for Vishal Bhardwaj's action thriller. The actor is apparently undergoing 'intense combat training' to match the demand of action sequences. "Equally important is understanding the mental make-up of a character like Ustara. Vishal sir, who is reuniting with the actor seven years after Rangoon [2017], has been guiding him as he delves deep into Ustara’s motivations, emotions, and mental battles," a source told the tabloid.

The report further suggests that Ustara had a layered personality, defined by his 'ruthless exterior' but driven by personal does of 'loyalty and honour'. As for Triptii Dimri, the actress' character also hinges on revenge. As of now, Shahid and his co-star are prepping individually. They will begin joint prep close to the film's shoot.
