Dev has been trying to do something different for quite some time now. And that is being reflected in his choice of roles that he is picking. The actor was seen practicing football at Salt Lake Central Park ground for the upcoming film, Golondaaz by Dhrubo Banerjee on football history.

Sources reveal that the actor has been practicing hard for five hours daily. Bhaichung Bhutia came down specially to train Dev for the role one day.

To train Dev for the role in the film, Bhaichung Bhutia has been conducting workshops with Dev.

Juggling, head, dribbling and many other football movements are being taught to Dev by Bhaichung Bhutia. Not only physical training, Bhaichung also trained Dev about technical aspects of the game.

The film is based on the life of first football player of India, Nagendraprasad Sarbadhikari. Dev will be playing the lead role and hence having knowledge of football is essential to play the role.

With Dev putting in so much effort to play this role, it will indeed be a pleasure to see him in Golondaaz.
