Actor said, Finding the right balance was hard, he further stated. “I even double-checked with him. As I started shooting for Bhool Bhulaiyaa and did first scene, I was told that my energy had dropped and I needed to increase it.” He continued, stating that he kept trying to raise his energy but felt like he was acting too much.
