Before Randeep Hooda, 9 Bollywood Actors Who Underwent Extreme Transformation For Movie Roles

Randeep Hooda lost 30 kgs to nail the role of Vinayak Damodar Savarkar in his biopic Swatantrya Veer Savarkar. His transformation has kickstarted a debate on Twitter. While many think that it's an unhealthy practice, others lauded him for his dedication. Actors often go to extreme lengths to ace their roles to perfection, and this wasn't the first time any actor did this. Here is a list of Bollywood actors who underwent extreme transformations for movie roles.

Bollywood Actors Who Underwent Extreme Transformation For Movie Roles

1. Aamir Khan - Dangal

Aamir Khan in Dangal: Bollywood Actors Who Underwent Extreme Transformation For Movie Roles X

Aamir Khan first gained 25 kilos for his Dangal and then lost the same for the other part of the movie. The actor weighed 95 kgs in the role of older Mahavir Singh Phogat. He had a protruding belly in the film. Instead of wearing a body suit, the actor chose to go for an extreme transformation.

2. Bhumi Pednekar - Dum Laga Ke Haisha

Bhumi Pednekar X

Bhumi Pednekar had put on an extra 27 kg for her role in Dum Laga Ke Haisha. It took her quite a lot of time to shed that weight and get back in shape for her second movie in 2017. From 93 kgs, she was back at 56 kgs in two and a half years. "Being a girl, I didn¡¯t realise the kind of changes my body would go through. I was 92 kgs by the end of Dum Laga Ke Haisha and I am 56 kgs now, so I¡¯ve lost about a bit. I gained 27kgs and then lost all of it, so for two and a half years, my body went through two major transformations," she was quoted as saying.

3. Rajkummar Rao - Trapped and Bose

Rajkummar Rao X

Rajkummar Rao lost 17 kgs in 22 days for his film Vikramaditya Motwane's Trapped. He reportedly survived on just one carrot and coffee everyday to look malnourished for his role. Talking about his transformation, Rajkummar Rao said, "It was a part of my preparation for the role of a man trapped inside a house for three weeks without any food or water. I wanted to feel the hunger and desperation that one goes through if they¡¯re put in such extreme conditions. I¡¯ve realised that we always take everything in our lives for granted. What if you have to go without food or water for days at a stretch? How will you survive? It was quite a struggle to be on such a strict diet. You get severe mood swings and your energy levels go down, but I guess that is the fun of being an actor. You get to do things that you can¡¯t do otherwise."

Later, he gained 11 kgs for web-series Bose, in which he played the role of Subash Chandra Bose in Hansal Mehta's show.

4. Randeep Hooda - Sarbjit

Randeep Hooda transformation for Sarbjit X

Before Swatantrya Veer Savarkar, Randeep Hooda underwent extreme transformation for his role in Sarbjit, a movie based on real-life man named Sarabjit Singh, who was wrongfully imprisoned in Pakistan. At that time, Randeep lost 18 kgs in 28 days. He reportedly survived on coffee and water. Talking about the same, he told HT, "Undergoing changes is a matter of [health] concern but for me, it¡¯s all about the experience. In Sarbjit, I wanted to experience starvation, confinement and isolation, so I prepared for that. I could connect more with the role when I knew how that person would feel in difficult situations."

5. Vidya Balan - The Dirty Picture

Vidya Balan X

Vidya Balan gained 12 kgs to play the role of controversial south Indian actress Vijayalaxmi in The Dirty Picture. "I gained 12 kilograms for this film because this girl belongs to the South film industry and the actresses were mostly wholesome out there, especially the dancing stars. So, I had to put on weight. Initially, I was a little apprehensive and I did not want to put on so many kilos, but then I realised that if I don¡¯t do it, I wouldn¡¯t be doing justice to the role. So, then I went ahead and put on 12 kilograms," Balan had told HT.

6. Salman Khan - Sultan

Salman Khan X

Salman Khan had to put on 15-18 kilograms of muscle weight for his role as a wrestler in Sultan. "I'm not gaining weight but gaining muscles for 'Sultan', and that is difficult. It is not fat¡­ You have to follow a strict schedule, but then it makes you stronger and fitter. It takes a lot of hard work," Salman had said in an interview. Later, he said that losing weight was a painful experience.

7. Ranbir Kapoor - Sanju

Ranbir Kapoor X

Ranbir Kapoor gained more than 13kg of weight which comprised of muscle and no fat to look like Sanjay Dutt in his biopic titled Sanju. Ranbir went from 70kg to a beefed up 85kg in six months.

8. Kareena Kapoor - Tashan

Kareena Kapoor X

Kareena Kapoor who introduced the concept of size zero in Tashan rocked killer abs. The actress lost 20kgs for her role. Talking about her transformation, Kareena Kapoor said, "The size zero phase was a result of a combination of yoga and Rujuta's meal plan. I was 68 kilos, and she brought me to down 48, which is when I gave that bikini shot for Tashan. I took up that project as a challenge. Adi [producer Aditya Chopra] told me, 'You need to be super fit to be in this movie. Will you be able to do it?' And I said, 'Of course." To which he said, 'You're quite a heavy girl.' But I was determined. I was ready to challenge my genes, stand there in a bikini and show him that I can have amazing abs."

9. Hrithik Roshan - Guzaarish

Hrithik Roshan X

Hrithik Roshan also gained weight for Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Guzaarish. He reportedly went from fit to fat for his role as a paraplegic. The actor ate lot of fried food including samosas, batata vada to get a 36-inch waist for the first time.
