Prateik Babbar, who is known to take his role seriously, is not leaving any stone unturned for playing his character perfectly in the film 'Issaq' .

The actor who plays a Banarasi romeo, underwent diction and physical training to get into the skin of the character. He went a step ahead and even took training lessons for fire dance and Parkour to be able to do the action sequences by himself in the film.

Based in Banaras, the film has a lot of sequences at the Ghats where Parkour; a form of physical activity to reach from one distance to another in the quickest and most efficient way would be useful.

Such sequences are never easy to shoot and require skills, and director Manish Tewari wanted Prateik to fit in the character to the tee. Prateik is also giving all that it takes to be a perfect Banarasi boy in love.

By the look of it, the movie is already garnering a lot of attention and is one to look out for.

This modern adaptation of Shakespeare's 'Romeo and Juliet', is slated to release on July 26, 2013.
