Talking about the experience, Lakkshey said, “When I got the role of Shakeel and I found out that he is a Kashmiri guy, I decided to research, in order for me to get into the skin of the character, I had to undergo training. It was important for me to understand the background of the character and find out the Kashmiri roots. I extensively read books on the partition of India. I saw a lot of films, plays and street theatre pertaining to Kashmir. I hired a trainer who helped get the diction and accent right. I attended workshops by conducted by a local Kashmiri. It was important for me to know the history of the country, the state of Kashmir and the people. The more I read and the more I did my research, the more I fell in love with my character and with the people of Kashmir. I studied their mannerisms, the way they spoke, the clothes they wear. Acting is a process and I ensured I left no stone unturned when it came to playing my character. Soon, I realised how the dialogues given to my character were in sync with how the people of Kashmir are. It is a beautiful state with amazing people it has only made me fall in love with it even more. I hope to do justice to my character and when people watch it, I hope they fall in love with Shakeel, a simple Kashmiri boy who has been stung by the world of politics.”
‘Hindutva’ also stars Ankit Raaj, veteran singer, Anup Jalota and Sonarika Bhadoria in the lead roles. The movie is hitting the screens soon.
