Actor Purab Kohli has been taking inspiration from noted fashion photographer Atul Kasbekar for his new film 'Noor'.

Purab has always been in front of the camera. In the movie, however, he is going to be seen behind the camera as a photographer. For that, he is doing his own research.

The former video jockey has been spending time with Kasbekar, observing him so that he can play a photographer's role in the film well.

A spokesperson for the actor said in a statement that the character is based on a photographer and that both Purab and Atul are good friends.

"He is taking a lot of reference from Atul. Taking references and a lot of inspiration from Atul is helping Purab build the character even better."
