Producer-actor Sohum Shah (of the critically-acclaimed film Ship Of Theseus in which he essayed a kidney transplant patient) had to undergo rigorous physical training for his next big screen outing, Tumbad, directed by Rahi Anil Barve.

The film, a dark period thriller, is set in colonial India and has been shot in rural Maharashtra.

He says, `Cinematographer Pankaj Kumar introduced me to Rahi who had directed the Marathi-Hindi short film Manjha. As I essay the character of a wrestler, I started working on my body. It took me five months to gain the desired weight.`

Rahi and his team had to do extensive research before starting the film. `We had to take care of every minor detail while filming the scenes right from the use of cold coins, our get-up and language,` says Shah.

The makers have already shown a few portions of the film to the National Film Development Corporation. `Everyone was excited to see the way it has been shot. Sudhir Mishra was shocked to see the rushes. So it is going good,` adds Shah.
