Actor Sharman Joshi will be seen playing an army officer in his upcoming film, War Chhod Na Yaar. Sharman made special preparations with his look to fit a young captain’s look. The film’s director Faraz Haider wanted Sharman to get a crew cut to make the character look real.
“Sharman was given a crew cut to fit the young Captain look, unlike many Hindi films where heroes who play army officers keep longish hair”, says a source. Haider admits that he gave Joshi the brief that he should adapt the personality of an officer. “When I first narrated the script, Sharman got excited about donning a new look. Apart from working on his physique, I advised him to groom himself to look like a very authentic army man,” Haider says. “Sharman had long hair and I was concerned about his hairstyle because he had to carry a style similar to an army officer. After a few days, he called me to say that he is coming to meet me in my office. And there was my hero standing in front of me with a perfect crew cut, which showed his involvement with his character and the film,” Haider added.
