7 Bollywood Actors Who Have Gone Through Unbelievable Physical Transformations For Movie Roles

Being an actor isn’t an easy job, apart from spending half your life on a set, you need to spend the other half at the gym bulking up or shedding some pounds.

While some Bollywood actors have maintained their trademark look for years, some have been more than willing to go the extra mile to fit in to a role. Here are 7 Bollywood Actors Who Have Gone Through Massive Physical Transformations For Movie Roles:

1. Aamir Khan (Ghajini)
Aamir Khan’s physique in Ghajini was unbelievable, terrifying even. The actor undertook an ungodly diet and physical routine to get under the skin of his character in Ghajini.

2. Shahid Kapoor (Kamineey)
It wasn’t just his body he worked on for Vishal Bharadwaj’s Kamineey, he also underwent an image makeover from the chocolate boy circa Vivaah to the tough bad guy.

3. Farhan Akhtar (Bhaag Milkha Bhaag)
Could you spot the difference between Farhan Akhtar and Milkha Singh? We sure couldn’t.

4. Amitabh Bachchan (Paa)
Amitabh Bachchan’s transformation in Paa wasn’t strictly physical but sitting through the entire process and embodying the role of Auro was nothing short of commendable.

5. Abhishek Bachchan (Guru)
Abhishek Bachchan had to put on a whole lot of weight to look the part of Guru Bhai in Mani Ratnam’s film. He looked every bit the scheming businessman.

6. Hrithik Roshan (Guzaarish)
Hrithik Roshan had to grow out his hair and put on a whole lot of weight. The film might have bombed but Hrithik looked perfect in his role.

7. Saif Ali Khan (Omkara)
Saif Ali Khan had to drop weight (including his muscle mass), get a buzz cut and be every bit a ruffian. From a royal to a menacing villian, good job Saif!
