Randeep Hooda
Randeep Hooda said that he had taken a pledge not to shave his beard or cut his hair until the completion of the film. However, Extraction came along and the makers wanted him to sport a starkly different look than that of Chris Hemsworth.
"I was really heartbroken. I had taken a
pledge in front of the Guru Granth Sahib in Golden Temple that I will not cut
my hair till this movie reaches its conclusion. When I got offered this role in
Extraction, I did this audition still hoping that Saragarhi goes on, but it was
a very hard decision for me to take off my hair ," Randeep revealed.
He added, "So I went to the Gurdwara , and I apologised ,I have to keep working. I mean my job is such that it is a performing art. And if I don’t perform something inside me will die. I came home shaved my beard, with a very heavy heart, I just had to move on by putting an end to it."
However, the
actor learnt to let it go and the high-intense action scenes in Extraction
definitely helped. “I was very heartbroken throughout the filming of Extraction
as well because a part of me was so attached to Saragarhi. But then I thought
that I’ve to move on. And have put your best foot forward, that was kind of a
lesson for me to let go of the baggage with grace," he said.
