THIS is why Saqib Saleem had to visit a psychologist for 'Dobaara'

Saqib Saleem has taken everyone by surprise with his performance in Dobaara which is an official adaptation of an American horror movie called Oculus. This movie is very special to Saqib not just because he got to work with her real-life sister Huma for the first time but because he took a project like this and the genre is completely different from what we have seen him do before.

It was an absolute challenge for him to understand the character who has been in juvenile prison for 12 years and the character doesn't talk much and when he speaks he expresses in few words, which is completely opposite to who Saqib in real life.

To understand better and get into the character he consulted a real life Psychologist. As they deal with many such cases and know better how they react on what and more. He spent about a month at eight sessions where he could understand and study one's behaviour from an expert's perspective.  

When asked about it, Saqib he said,"It was a challenging role but also a very rewarding for me as an actor. The real life sessions with the psychologist helped me translate some emotions into the reel. Every time I do a film I need to understand the psyche of the character. More importantly, I need to know where the character is coming from, I need to understand his thought process"
