MUMBAI: When we appreciate an actor’s performance in a movie, we just look at what he or she did on the screens. But, sometimes the actors put in a lot of effort to prepare for their roles.

So, today, let’s look at some insane things that the actors did to prepare for their roles...

Randeep Hooda’s transformation for Sarbjit had shocked one and all. From 94 kgs to 66 kgs, he lost an insane amount of weight for the movie. He has done it again for the movie Swatantra Veer Savarkar. He has lost weight for his role and for months he only had a khajoor and a glass of milk.

Rajkummar Rao is known for his amazing performances in movies. The actor for his role in Hamari Adhuri Kahani didn’t have a proper bath for about 20 days. Now, that’s actually insane?

Kangana Ranaut

We all know that Kangana Ranaut wants to be perfect in every role that she does. The actress had revealed that she gained 20 kgs for her role in Thalaivii and had severe back aches because of that.

Saif Ali Khan
