Sidharth Malhotra and Parineeti Chopra were immensely loved in their first film with each other, Hasee Toh Phasee. Their chemistry had become the talk of the town. Once again, the duo will be seen together on the 70 mm in their upcoming film, Jabariya Jodi, which is based on groom kidnapping. mid-day.com got exclusively in touch with Sidharth and Parineeti to know what all preparations they had to undergo to get into the skin of their characters.
When asked Sidharth Malhotra about it, who had to get the nuances and accent right for his character Abhay Singh, he said, "A lot of training whether it was to get the accent right, or working on the mannerisms, getting the body language right, styling for all of us. Because, I think, at least for me, I was portraying something that I haven't in the past - a very heartland character. He's still very strong but also very colourful, which lends itself to a lot of humour, which is new to me. About two months of rigorous training and prepping was that went into it and we had specialists on set as well who were helping us and guiding us."
