Shaam’s sleepless act

Joining the long list of actors in K-Town who visit the extremes to suit into the nature is Shaam. The actor went without sleep for nearly 10 days in order that he could get the ‘right look’ for his forthcoming flick 6.He says, “I play Ram, a person who's looking for something in his life. He's restless, and has to unravel a large mystery. The film traces three phases in his life, and for the last one, that is revealed within the climax, I WISHED to seem weak. I shed almost 17 kilos, grew beard and long hair. That is something that everybody does, but I WISHED my character to seem different from what others have done so far.”

He continues, “Way back in 2006, I USED TO BE working within the day and went without sleep. So, the tissues under my eyes swelled up. I ASSUMED I'LL use that condition to my advantage for this film, and so, I didn’t sleep for 10 whole days. When the director and the cameraman saw me at the day I USED TO BE to shoot the climax, they were shaken up. I knew I USED TO BE experimenting with something as important as my eyes, and was even aware that the swelling is not going to reduce for atleast five days, but I USED TO BE willing to take the chance because this film is a vital one in my career.”
