Manish Wadhwa loses weight for role in epic drama

Manish Wadhwa is being noticed for his realistic portrayal of Balaji Vishwanath in the historical Peshwa Bajirao. The actor even had to shed a few kilos to get into the skin of his character. Manish confirms. “I had to look young and tough at the same time, so I had to lose weight. The character goes through a wonderful journey. Luckily, the hard work has paid off.”

The actor is joined by Anuja Sathe on the show. Manish cannot stop gushing about his co-star. “She is a wonderful co-actor. She can also speak Marathi, and has dabbled in Marathi theatre. This gives us a lot of common ground to connect, and has helped boost our chemistry,” he admits.

The actor has been maintaining a bald look since last six years, and will be sporting a similar look on the show. Talking about his look, he says, “I have had this look for a long time. Incidentally, a lot of shows require me to have this bald look. But this isn’t permanent. The moment I get a different role, I will change my look.”
