“I Practised With the Bo Staff Everywhere I Could”: Pulkit Samrat on His Rigorous Rahu Ketu Training

Pulkit Samrat continues to keep the excitement around Rahu Ketu at an all-time high. As anticipation for the film grows, the actor has now given fans a rare behind-the-scenes glimpse into the intense preparation that went into bringing his character, Ketu, to life.

The BTS clips show Pulkit practising with the bo staff, rehearsing intricate combat movements and perfecting action choreography. From early-morning sessions to late-night practice routines in hotel rooms, the videos capture the physical discipline and repetition that went into making the weapon feel like a natural extension of his character.

Taking to his Instagram, Pulkit Samrat shared the videos and wrote,

"When I first heard that Ketu would fight using a bo staff, I had no idea how deeply I'd connect with it. What began as a simple action requirement slowly turned into an obsession. I found myself watching reference videos, practising with the bo staff in my hotel room, and refining the choreography whenever I got a spare moment.

By the time we were shooting, it no longer felt like a prop - it felt like an extension of Ketu himself. On screen, you see it for just a few seconds, but those moments carry weeks of preparation, bruises, and an incredible amount of passion. That's the magic of being an actor - every role leaves you with something new, and I'm truly grateful I got to learn this art through Rahu Ketu."

Rahu Ketu presents a fresh interpretation of age-old mythological legends while staying true to their spiritual essence. With compelling performances, meticulously choreographed action sequences, and a visually immersive mythological backdrop, the film promises an engaging theatrical experience that bridges tradition with contemporary storytelling.

The BTS videos have further fuelled conversations around Pulkit's transformation, with fans praising his commitment and authenticity. The glimpse into his bo staff practice has only heightened anticipation, making Rahu Ketu one of the most talked-about upcoming releases.

Rahu Ketu is all set to hit theatres on January 16, promising audiences an action-packed mythological spectacle on the big screen.
