Pavel Priluchny Lost 12 kg for Filming in the Film "Devyatayev"
The actor said that he was sitting on rice and water in preparation for the filming of Timur Bekmambetov's painting "Devyatayev"
The now popular Russian Actor Pavel Priluchny spoke about filming in Timur Bekmambetov's film "Devyatayev"
The picture tells about the feat of Mikhail Devyatayev, who escaped from a German concentration camp in 1945, while stealing a plane.
The actor dropped 12 kilograms for the role of a Soviet pilot and noted in an interview:
Such efforts were made to make the image convincing, because Devyatayev weighed 40 kilograms at the time of his escape.
Hero of the Soviet Union Mikhail Devyatayev spent six months in the Nazi death camp Sachsenhausen. On February 8, 1945, a group of ten Soviet prisoners of war captured a German Heinkel He 111 bomber and escaped from a concentration camp on it. Devyatayev was at the helm.
In addition to Priluchny, Pavel Chinarev, Kirill Pletnev, Timofey Tribuntsev, Alexei Filimonov, Dmitry Lysenkov starred in the drama. Sergei Trofimov shared the director's chair with Bekmambetov.
The premiere of the painting "Devyatayev" is scheduled for the end of April 2021.
