Ranbir Kapoor for Animal to Kartik Aaryan in Chandu Champion, 8 actors who took body transformation to another level
Bollywood actors work hard to make their films successful. For this, they even undergo massive body transformations. Here's a list of such actors whose body transformations left us speechless.
A successful Bollywood movie depends on various factors such as good dialogue, perfect characterizations, visual arts, cinematography, narrative, music, sound, editing, and many more. But apart from them, the actors' hard work and dedication towards their character mean a lot.
In this article, we will present a list of actors whose body transformations for movies left us speechless. From Ranbir Kapoor for Animal to Shah Rukh Khan for Pathaan, the list includes several names.
1. Ranbir Kapoor for Animal
In Animal, we have seen Ranbir Kapoor's massive body transformation. The actor left everyone stunned with his performance and the physical transformation he had undergone for the role. His character was shown through different age groups, so he had to undergo a massive body transformation accordingly.
A few months ago, Ranbir's physical trainer, Shivoham, took to his Instagram handle and shared a carousel of images depicting the actor’s rigorous physical journey.
In the first photo, we can see his formidable bearded avatar in Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Animal, followed by a regular picture of him at the gym as he gears up for the transformation. The third picture shows Ranbir in a ripped and sculpted body with flaunting abs, and the last picture creates a strong contrast to the actor's fitness journey.
Sharing the pictures, Shivoham wrote in the caption, “It was all hard work over a period of 3 plus years. Nothing is ever achieved by taking shortcuts in life. Clarity and a vision of the end goal with a proper planned and structured program to reach to that goal is essential."
The trainer continued, "Then again, if you dint have the WILL, DESCIPLINE, CONSISTENCY and the FIRE to achieve the goals, no amount of planning and structure will help.”

A few days ago, he shared two before and after pictures and explained his journey in the caption.
Kartik revealed that he reduced his body fat from 39% to 7% during this journey and became a fitness enthusiast from being an insomniac. "It’s surely a journey of one and half years to remember for me. The life of the living legend Mr. Murlikant Petkar not only made me a stronger human being but also further instilled the belief that if you can dream it, then you can achieve it... nothing is impossible," he wrote.
The actor also quipped that his mother used to tell him to go to the gym earlier, but now she asks him to come back from the gym.

The actor's weight ranged between 85 and 90, and for this, the credit also goes to the daily one-hour weight training sessions.
He was also engaged in 40-minute high-intensity cardio sessions, both in the morning and evening. Bobby didn't stop there; he incorporated cardio and weight training and stressed the importance of functional training.
Next, he also followed a tailored diet plan for his breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Deol also abstained himself from sweets for four months to get the desired look. Take a look:

Hrithik's cardio routine included sessions once or twice a day, tailored to the specific phase of his transformation journey. Activities ranged from running, elliptical training, and swimming to workouts on the StairMaster Rower. Moreover, he also followed a dull and flavorless diet. The diet primarily consisted of single-form ingredients such as chicken, egg whites, whey protein, and fish, along with sources of complex carbohydrates like oats, quinoa, rice, and sweet potato.
5. Salman Khan for Sultan
Salman Khan's dedication to every movie is outstanding, but Sultan is one movie that stands out. For the film, he needed to gain weight and again lose it.
In an interview with Filmfare, director Ali Abbas Zafar revealed he had to go through three phases in Sultan’s life. He shared, “One point of the time he fluctuates between 78 kg and 82 kg then he goes to 90 kg and then he goes to almost gaining 100 kg. The credible thing about it is that Salman Khan did it while shooting the film.”
