Actors Who Went Through Massive Physical Transformation

It is widely known how hard Farhan Akhtar worked to get the desired body of an athlete for his role in Bhaag Milkha Bhaag. The actor spent almost an year training solely for this role, such is his dedication. He is not the only actor to share such a passion for his job, there are many more actors in Bollywood who have spent months preparing for their role.

Bollywood actors today are going through unbelievable physical transformations for their movie roles. Hrithik Roshan too developed a huge mind blowing body for his role of a super hero in Krissh 3. Some actors have maintained their trademark looks over the years, but some prefer to go the extra mile to fit into the role they are playing.

Being an actor is definitely not an easy job, they don't just spend half their life on film sets, they also need to spend the rest of their time in the gym either bulking up, maintaining or shedding pounds for their upcoming role. It is nice to see these actors put in so much handwork into their job.
