He may be playing a zombie in his next film but that hasn't stopped Abhay Deol from going all out to 'prepare' for it. To quote the much used and abused term, Abhay is getting into the 'skin of the character' for 'Rock The Shaadi'. Of course being a zombie in real life is out of question but the least he is doing in this direction is to get the Punjabi wedding scene right.

Abhay plays a Punjabi munda in the film who gatecrashes into weddings. To get the right feel for his character, Abhay has been attending quite a few Punjabi weddings. Though everyone attached to the film is tight lipped about the actual plot of the film and what exactly does Abhay do after gate-crashing, there is a definite fun element to it all. To fine-tune his own comic timing and get the Punjabi milieu right, Abhay is enjoying his evenings out, informs a source.

Given the fact that Abhay is a hardcore Punjabi himself, one wonders if there is indeed a requirement for Abhay to spend so much time in joining these celebrations. After all, he could well have used his earlier experience of attending weddings and spoken to people at his household to get a better hang of what really happens on such occasions.

See, it is one thing to be just a 'baraati' and another to actually get in-depth idea around the traditions and customs. As an outsider, he may have seen quite a few things during weddings over the years. However when a film by its very title requires it's central protagonist to 'rock a shaadi', it is imperative that he gets an in-depth idea around what really transpires in a wedding, the source continues.

Let's not forget that he is fast turning out to be the newest perfectionist in town. Even in 'Shanghai' where he is required to play a 'babu', he has gone through a complete changeover to look and play a 40 year old government officer, he says.

Guess Aamir does have competition from the younger generation when it comes to wearing the perfectionist hat!
