Vicky Kaushal locks himself up to play troubled cop in ‘Raman Raghav 2.0’

Vicky Kaushal has previously played challenging characters for his movies, but for his role in ��Raman Raghav 2.0�۪ he prepared in the most extreme way possible by locking himself up in a room for five days to bring out his dark side.

The Anurag Kashyap directed thriller stars Nawazuddin Siddiqui as a serial killer, while the 27 year old will play the role of a policeman.

Kaushal spoke about his character in the Hindustan Times, ���The character is different from everything I�۪ve done so far. He is troubled, demented, is into drugs, has his issues and is not the ideal cop. I had to force myself into his shoes because he came from a world I didn�۪t immediately understand.�۝

In order to prepare himself for the role, Kaushal had to push the boundaries, which included living in a dark room. ���For five days, I locked myself in a room. There was no light, no phone, Wi-Fi, or TV. I detached myself from everything and concentrated on the two scenes I had to audition for. I wanted to tap the dark side in me,�۝ he said. ���First day, I was bored. Second day I started feeling cranky, third day I was irritated, fourth day I was irritated and cranky. By fifth day, I was in a space that I never was in life. I went straight to give the auditions and cracked it,�۝ Kaushal added.

It was not just materialist things that Kaushal detached himself from, but also his family, whom he had asked not to contact him during the process.
