Actress Taapsee Pannu says she requires to look like a refugee in her upcoming film "Ghazi" and for that she is eating right to weigh "minimum".
"I am required to look tortured and stressed and someone who has gone through a lot of physical wear and tear. Hence, I'm making sure I look like a refugee. Just eating right to be sure I weigh my minimum for that one month of shoot," Taapsee said in a statement.
The actress, playing a refugee in the film, will be seen opposite actor Rana Daggubati, who has reportedly been cast as a naval officer.
"Ghazi" is based on the PNS Ghazi submarine that sank mysteriously off the Vizag coast in the Bay of Bengal.
Directed by debutant Sankalp, the film will be partially based on his own book "Blue Fish".
The story is about an executive naval officer of the Indian submarine S21 and his team who remain underwater for 18 days.
