Going back the caption, it seems it took 10 months for Hansal Mehta and Rajkummar Rao to write 9 episodes of the show and bring this idea on screen. Moreover, Rajkummar had to go under intense physical and mental transformation to get Bose’s persona right. In the video, Rajkummar is seen telling how he had to remove his frontal hair, put on 12 kilos of weight and start smoking to get an authentic ‘Bose’ look. He further tells how he has to eat 6 Rasgullas for breakfast to look bulkier and reveals that his transformation is more internal than external as he wishes to not just look, but think like the legendary Subhash Chandra Bose.

Meanwhile, Ekta posted few other snippet videos from the show that give a glimpse of the upcoming web-series. Take a look:
