Nazim's entry as Jaggi and Gopi kaka has already been shown and got a great response from the fans.

While Jaggi is shown as a happy-go-lucky guy, Gopi kaka is completely opposite. He is shown as a wrestler.

In an exclusive chat with TellyChakkar, Nazim opened up about how he prepped for Gopi kaka's character.

Nazim said, "When I came to know that I'm going to play a wrestler who wrestles in an akhada, I got extremely excited. However, I did face some problems as the gyms were closed at that time due to pandemic."

The actor added. "I had to gain around 7 to 8kgs weight for this role. I had lots of milk, gulab jamuns, bananas, much more. I used to have 6 to 7 meals a day, I used to drink 5 to 6 liters water regularly."

Well, it wasn't that easy for Nazim to gain that kind of physique for the role of Gopi kaka but he got through and simply nailed it.

Hats off to Nazim's dedication!
