Farhan Akhtar has undergone a tough and impossible body transformation for his upcoming project Toofan and has also taken professional training in “Boxing” to be able to do justice to the role. The actor had to gain 15 kilos in just 6 weeks to role up for a sect in the film. The massive and drastic transformation from going all fit to heavy was excruciatingly challenging for the actor.
In an interview with The New Indian Express, the Bhag Milkha Bhag actor told, “For me, fitness is a way of life and not just a routine. Irrespective of my craft, I choose to live a healthy and disciplined lifestyle. I’ve always refrained from indulging in things that could have adverse effects on my body.”
He added, “It was a challenge for me to adapt to a way of living that was completely contrary—with a monitored exercise regime, less physical activity and high consumption of fats, carbs, starch. It was tough. Although I balanced consumption of fried food, the starch and fats made up for it and here you go, that’s how I gained an extra 15 kilos.”
