Apart from understanding the basics of rifle shooting, Pandit also taught Shahid the methods of gripping the gun, perfecting the stance and aiming at a target.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Shooting is probably in Shahid Kapoor&#8217;s blood. We trained for over a week at my Malad and Worli centres. We did a lot of exercises to help him understand the technique of using the trigger. We followed the same training process that we do for the Olympics,&#8221; Pandit said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>The former shooter says that they shot at different calibers and ranges and did precision shooting to get the angles right.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read :<a href=\"football-news\/international\/43836-luke-bryan-to-sing-national-anthem-at-super-bowl\">Luke Bryan to sing national anthem at Super Bowl<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He had a few long distance shots in the film and we wanted him to look convincing. On the last day, we went to the Worli range to shoot the firearm with real bullets,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>Talking about Shahid&#8217;s dedication, Pandit said: &#8220;Shahid is a really talented man and by day two, he seemed effortless. He picked up the tricks faster than I anticipated and his fitness made the process easier. He is down to earth, almost like a college buddy. Also, given that he is punctual, working with him becomes easier.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Directed by Vishal Bhardwaj &#8220;Rangoon&#8221; is set during the time of World War II (1939-1945).
