When it comes to versatility, their are few who can match the level of Rajkummar Rao. Ever since the beginning of his innings as an actor, he's been constantly experimenting and finding new horizons for his talents. For his upcoming film 'Badhaai Do', Rajkummar Rao has undergone a physical transformation. Since he's going to play a policeman, he has put on muscle and built a chiseled physique to bring authenticity and do the character justice.

Here's what he had to say about his transformation, "When our director Harshvardhan told me that I needed to gain muscle definition for the role the only thought I had was I’ll have to give up on my food. It wasn’t easy at all but the excitement for the script is what made me do it. I started with working out well before the shoot commenced, I used to hit the gym every day for at least 2 hours including shoot days that went on for 12 hours.”

He further explained that how tough it was to gain muscle with his diet, "Being a vegetarian, it was tough to gain all this muscle and I was always very sure that I never wanted to take any kind of steroids. I never skipped my workout and never cheated on my diet. I would stare at the food everyone else was having and I’d often say, 'last day pe I'll eat all the mithaai'. I’m very glad that Badhaai Do gave me this opportunity to change my physique completely. I can’t wait for people to watch our beautiful film."
