Rajkummar Rao gains 11 kg, flaunts pot belly for Bose
Mumbai July 5 (IANS) He underwent drastic weight loss to play a man striving for survival in Trapped. Now for web series Bose actor Rajkummar Rao has been hogging pizzas and biryani to get the pot belly that he now sports to shoot the show.
During the promotion of Trapped Rajkummar had said he was on a diet of black coffee and two carrots a day for about 20-22 days in order to look real for his character.
For Bose -- helmed by Hansal Mehta for ALT Balaji -- the actor has been working on his look for two months. He also went half bald to play the part of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose.
I have gained 11 kg as of now and I have been eating a lot... ten times of what my diet was Rajkummar told IANS over social media.
As an actor I am always conscious of what I eat. I always keep a check but with Bose I had to let go of everything and just hog whatever I liked eating but couldn t. Starting from cheesecakes pizzas sweets aloo parathas biryani and what all.
I had to look on the heftier side for Bose so that s how I started putting on weight he added.
He is still gaining weight for the role and says he would have to lose it also in no time.
I ll have to reduce all this weight once we are done shooting which will most probably be by this month s end and also will grow my hair back. I am hopeful that by the time my hair will grow back I ll be able to get rid of all this extra weight added the National Award-winning actor.
Rajkummar who has earlier featured in films like Queen and Shahid feels it will be easy for him to shed the extra kilos.
I like being fit and have always been a sports enthusiast and knowing my body I should be able to do it in two months time at the maximum he said.

Building a character. Nothing gives me more high than the process of exploring someone else s life on screen he tweeted.
