Darshan Kumar in Avrodh: The Siege Within
Rarely has he got the opportunity to display his patriotic streak on screen. It is only natural then that Darshan Kumar jumped at the chance of playing an Army man in the web series, Avrodh: The Siege Within. But where patriotism demands valiance and loyalty in real life, Kumar says the reel counterpart demanded a punishing training.
"Ahead of the shoot, we had regular bootcamps. I had to reach the bootcamp by 4 am where I trained rigorously for five hours every day. From picking up combat skills to perfecting the march and training to handle guns, it was a learning experience," says the actor, who plays Major Gautam in the SonyLIV venture.
