Vin Diesel, who was deeply upset by the news of his 'Fast And Furious 7' co-star Paul Walker's untimely death in a devastating car crash in California in 2013, has recalled that he found it emotionally challenging and tedious to continue shooting for the film.

As per Forbes.com, the 47-year-old actor, who was still in mourning but had to continue shooting in Walker's absence, even as his brother Cody filled in, said that it is a very tricky task for an actor to be in that stage of mourning and also have to pretend that person is still there.

Diesel added that it made the experience that much more, "arduous."

The movie will hit Indian screens in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu on April 02, 2015, a day before its U.S release.
