Gifted actor Vineet Kumar Singh will soon be seen playing the lead in upcoming crime drama series 'Rangbaaz 3'. The actor is known for taking his roles very seriously and in order to play gangster turned politician Haroon Shah Ali Baig in this show, Vineet had to undergo a physical transformation which required him to gain 10kgs of weight.

Sharing a thing or two about his weight gain journey, Vineet told ANI, "Gaining ten kilos for the role was quite strenuous but it was the need of the character and it was very important for me to look the part I was playing. I was put on a strict diet and laborious training for the character, but it has been a great journey and I am excited for the series to release. It is a dark, complex as well as a meaty character and I thoroughly enjoyed playing it."

Sharing what tempted him to take up the project, Vineet said, "I had so many reasons to jump on-board and be a part of Rangbaaz - Darr ki Rajneeti. First, Ajay Rai is someone I have worked with him in Gangs of Wasseypur and Mukkabaz and he is my lucky charm. It's always a good experience working with him. Secondly, I have always wanted to work with Navdeep Singh as I love his movies."

Vineet further added, "Thirdly, Siddharth Mishra has written an excellent script with beautifully layered characters. My character has all the things that an actor would want in a script. And lastly, Rangbaaz as a franchise is immensely loved by the audience and it has a legacy and a fan following so it was an easy decision for me to take on this project and now with the trailer out, I have fingers crossed."
