Vindu Dara Singh remembers late actor Mukul Dev's final film, sharing insights about his weight loss and camaraderie on set

"He has done tremendous work in 'Son of Sardar 2' - Vindu Dara Singh"

Mumbai, May 24

Actor Vindu Dara Singh, who has worked with the late Mukul Dev in the forthcoming sequel, "Son Of Sardaar 2" remembered his co-star during an exclusive conversation with IANS.

"Although he has left us, Mukul resides in all our hearts and will always remain immortal," Vindu told IANS.

He revealed that Mukul had gained a lot of weight which he lost during the shoot with the help of Ajay Devgn. However, he regained the weight once the shoot was over. Vindu shared, "He has done tremendous work in 'Son of Sardar 2'. We shot with him for a month in August in Scotland. He had gained some weight so Ajay Devgn helped him with his exercise. He became fit but ended up gaining the weight back after returning from the shoot. He was a very kind-hearted person."

Made under the direction of Vijay Kumar Arora, "Son of Sardar 2" stars Ajay Devgn, Sanjay Dutt, Mrunal Thakur, Sanjay Mishra, Ravi Kishan, and Kubbra Sait in key roles, along with others.

Produced by Ajay Devgn, Jyoti Deshpande, N R Pachisia, and Pravin Talreja and Fox Star Studios, "Son of Sardar 2" is a spiritual sequel to the 2012 film "Son of Sardaar," featuring Ajay Devgn and Sonakshi Sinha.

The project is scheduled to be released in the cinema halls on July 25.

Remembering Mukul, the 'Bigg Boss 3' winner wrote on social media, "Rest in peace my brother #MukulDev! The time spent with you will always be cherished and #SonOfSardaar2 will be your swansong where you will spread joy and happiness to the viewers and make them fall down laughing !"

Mukul passed away on Friday night at 54. However, the exact reason for the actor's death remains unknown for now.

His last rites took place in Delhi's Dayanand Mukti Dham, in Nizamuddin West on Saturday.

It's heartbreaking to lose such a talented actor at just 54. Mukul Dev was always so natural in his performances. His comic timing in "Jhankaar Beats" was brilliant. Hope "Son of Sardaar 2" does justice to his legacy. 🙏

Weight fluctuations can be so tough for actors! Shows how dedicated Mukul was that he worked hard to get fit for the shoot. Ajay Devgn helping him with exercises is such a sweet co-star gesture. Bollywood needs more such camaraderie.

While it's nice to remember Mukul Dev, I wish media wouldn't focus so much on actors' weight. The man was a brilliant performer - that's what matters most. His role in "LOC Kargil" showed his incredible range beyond comedy.

So sad to hear this news! 😢 Mukul Dev was one of those underrated actors who could do any role perfectly. From serious characters to comedy, he nailed everything. Hope the industry recognizes his contribution properly now.

The original "Son of Sardaar" was entertaining masala fare. Hope the sequel maintains that fun spirit while giving Mukul Dev a proper tribute. His comic scenes will definitely be bittersweet to watch now.

Weight gain/loss is a personal struggle for many. It's touching that Vindu shared this human side of Mukul. Shows even stars face everyday challenges. May his soul rest in peace. Looking forward to his final performance!
