Randeep Hooda

Randeep Hooda's major physical change for 'Sarbjit' is still one of Bollywood's extreme transformations. The actor lost 18 kilograms during his 28-day preparation to play an Indian prisoner named Sarabjit Singh, who was imprisoned in Pakistan while drinking black coffee and eating apples. The actor became unrecognizable through his physical transformation, which proved his devotion to the role he portrayed.

Hrithik Roshan

Hrithik Roshan underwent a complete physical change to play Anand Kumar in the movie 'Super 30.' The movie demanded him to put on weight while he worked to eliminate his athletic body shape. Hrithik displayed his muscular and handsome appearance to the public through his performance in 'War.' After he became Bollywood's dashing action star, it was really surprising to see the drastic transformation for 'Super 30.' The actor reached his extraordinary physical change through the combination of resistance training and cardio workouts and strict eating plan management.

3/6

Rajkummar Rao

In 'Trapped,' Rajkummar Rao committed himself to intensive training for weight loss because he needed to play a character who experienced starvation while stuck in an apartment. The actor maintained a rigorous diet consisting only of black coffee and carrots to achieve rapid weight loss, which enabled him to appear as a person in need of assistance. He showed his commitment to achieving realistic results through his complete eating regimen and body alteration process.

4/6

Aamir Khan

The "Mr. Perfectionist" of Bollywood, Aamir Khan, has his extraordinary methodical approach to his work. His outstanding performance in the movie 'Dangal' justified the name he got. The actor dedicated himself to gaining 27 kg in order to portray the adult Mahavir Singh Phogat, and then he lost weight to reach the athletic physique of his youth as a wrestler. The actor used both dieting and weightlifting to achieve his performance, which showed his dedication to authentic portrayal.

5/6

Farhan Akhtar

During the shoot of 'Toofaan,' Farhan Akhtar achieved a professional boxer status by undergoing high-intensity boxing training and strength conditioning exercises. The actor demonstrated his professional dedication through numerous weight changes, which he performed to deliver authentic performances for his roles.
