"I think it (changing look) is very simple. I'm normally asked and I guess other actors are also asked questions related to body language, look, lost or gained weight. These are very fundamental and easy things that we do while preparing for the character," Sushant told IANS during a candid chat here.

"What's more complex is the understanding the character", he said and added, "Sometimes we finish the entire movie and we still don't understand the character. So, that is the thing we need to crack." (Also Read: From Sushant Singh Rajput to Detective Byomkesh Bakshy in a Rap Song)

Talking about his current look, he said, "The reason I have long hair, a certain diction or a certain body language is very difficult to understand. Yes it is important, because right now he (Dhoni) is there and everyone knows about him. I cannot give the audience a jerk by not looking like him. But these things are very easy," the actor said.

Meanwhile, the actor is gearing up for the release of the Dibakar Banerjee's film, based on Saradindu Bandyopadhyay's well-known and successful fictional detective Byomkesh Bakshy.
