John Abraham reveals the toughest part of shooting for 'Romeo Akbar Walter'Mar 21 (AZINS) John Abraham's Romeo Akbar Walter trailer had created noise when it released. The movie dates back to the Indo-Pakistan war in 1971, right after the two countries were divided and it is about John's journey from a child to an undercover agent.

The actor, in an interview to BollywoodLife, revealed which was the toughest character to play. "The 85-year-old man look was the toughest. It took me about six hours to get ready. It was very hot and painful. You can't breathe because of the prosthetic but the end result was worth it. I'm known as an action hero. So when my body and action is taken away from me, that was challenging and fun. I really enjoyed the process. I graduate with every film. It's a learning process," said John.

Talking about how he prepared for the character, John Abraham added, "To get into the mind of the character. It might sound cliche but that's how it was. The process drained my energy. I used to get tired. It used to feel like I would sink. By the 23rd day I couldn't continue. Then I took a break of three-four hours. Then I had to start all over again, so that was draining me out. I'm even playing a character that is on foreign land. It put me in a dark zone."

Directed by Robbie Grewal, the movie was initially going to star Sushant Singh Rajput in the lead role. Romeo Akbar Walter is produced by Viacom18 Motion Pictures, Dheeraj Wadhwan, Ajay Kapoor, Vanessa Walia, and Gary Grewal and is slated to release on April 5, 2019.
