<p>Actor Rajkummar Rao’s recent appearance during an event sparked concerns among fans about his health. Rao appeared visibly more bulky with a different hairline, which led to speculations about the actor’s well-being.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Turns out, the actor has changed his appearance for a film role.</p><h2>Rajkummar Rao undergoes a physical transformation for new film</h2><p>Rajkummar Rao has consistently viewed physical transformation as an integral part of his craft, particularly in biopics. Over the years, he has repeatedly reshaped himself for roles, often embracing uncomfortable in-between phases that come with moving from one character to the next.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Currently, the actor is navigating another such phase as he shifts gears between two demanding biographical roles. While the visible changes have sparked conversation, those familiar with his process see it as a continuation of a long-standing pattern rather than something out of the ordinary.</p>

He also experimented with his hair to make the age and journey feel authentic. At the moment, he’s in a transition phase, losing the weight he gained for Nikam while simultaneously doing look tests for his next biopic on Sourav Ganguly. This phase is completely intentional and part of moving from one character to another.”</p><p> </p><p><strong>Also see: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/rajkummar-rao-and-patralekhaa-reveal-daughter-s-name-share-first-photo-1768719513219"><strong>Rajkummar Rao and Patralekhaa reveal daughter's name; share first photo</strong></a></p><p> </p><p>The source added, “This isn’t new for him. Rajkummar has always pushed himself for his roles. Be it when he shaved his head for Bose or dropped around 7 kgs for his character in Trapped, or for Srikant,h where he refused to come out of the character on set even when cameras weren’t rolling. His focus is always on fully embodying the character he’s playing.”</p><h2>‘I’m not a believer in prosthetic’</h2><p> </p><p>On Monday, Rao took to Instagram to update fans about his upcoming films and addressed speculations about his look. </p><p> </p><p>Rao shared images of Nikam and Ganguly and revealed how he has undergone physical transformation for the two biopics he is part of. Along with the images, he shared a long note and wrote, "My being is through my Art. Just finished shooting for my next Biopic #NIKAM and yes, it has demanded me to change physically which I love doing. I’m not a believer in prosthetic as long as I can achieve the look through my hardwork which I’ve achieved in Nikam be it gaining weight or looking old (to play a certain age)or to make my hair thin which my hair stylist was very much against but everyone told me to not go half bald for BOSE also and to gain that much weight or to Not stop eating and lose so much weight for TRAPPED or to not behave like a visually impaired person even when cameras weren’t rolling during SRIKANTH. For Nikam I had to gain around 9-10 kgs and I was eating 2 pizzas and lot of sweets and my fav Aloo Parathas, Biryani and to not use anything glam to look like the part. Hopefully, when you will see the film which will be releasing soon you will be able to see all that hardwork in the film.</p><p>And now it’s the transition phase and time to lose these extra kgs and get ready to slip into Ganguly mode. Our very own Dada. Will always work the hardest to engage you, entertain you through my work. Much Love." </p>

Actor Rajkummar Rao’s recent appearance during an event sparked concerns among fans about his health. Rao appeared visibly more bulky with a different hairline, which led to speculations about the actor’s well-being. Turns out, the actor has changed his appearance for a film role. Rajkummar Rao undergoes a physical transformation for new film Rajkummar Rao has consistently viewed physical transformation as an integral part of his craft, particularly in biopics. Over the years, he has repeatedly reshaped himself for roles, often embracing uncomfortable in-between phases that come with moving from one character to the next. Currently, the actor is navigating another such phase as he shifts gears between two demanding biographical roles. While the visible changes have sparked conversation, those familiar with his process see it as a continuation of a long-standing pattern rather than something out of the ordinary.

On Feb 5, Rajpal Yadav surrendered at Tihar Jail after the court refused his plea in a long-running cheque bounce and loan default case. As Yadav's financial woes took the headlines, several members of the film industry have extended help. 

Actor Rajpal Yadav is going through a rough patch in his life. The actor, who has made the entire country laugh with his outstanding performances in several films, is currently behind bars in a cheque-bounce case. Amid all this, Yadav has been receiving help from several friends in the industry, and recently, director Priyadarshan also came forward and spoke about the crisis Yadav has been going through. On February 5, Yadav surrendered at Tihar Jail after the Delhi High Court rejected his plea requesting more time in a cheque bounce case linked to unpaid dues of nearly Rs 9 crore. Priyadarshan on Rajpal Yadav cheque bounce case, says ‘poor education’ is the reason Filmmaker Priyadarshan, who has worked with Yadav in several superhit movies, such as Bhool Bhulaiya, Bhagam Bhag, Chup Chup Ke, De Dana Dan, and more. In a conversation with Mid-Day, the director said that he was aware of Yadav's financial crisis and even asked the producers that they both recently worked to increase his fees. “I have known him for more than 20 years. I saw him for the first time in Jungle and was surprised by his performance. My first film with him was Malamaal Weekly, and after that, he has starred in most of my films. I told the producers (Jubilee Films) of my next film to pay Rajpal more than what he charges because of his situation. We want to save him. The producers have agreed. Rajpal plays the villain in my movie,” he said. Speaking further, the director said that he's aware of Rajpal's court case, which he has been battling for over a decade now. Calling Yadav a ''good soul,'' the director said that he got stuck due to his poor education. “I knew about his problem. That’s why I kept signing Rajpal for every film. I pushed him in ad films too. The poor guy made a blunder because of his poor education. Rajpal is a good soul,” he said. Celebrities offer financial help to Rajpal Yadav After Yadav’s financial woes became public, the Bollywood industry came forward in support of him. Several celebrities have come forward publicly, while others have secretly reached out to the actor to support him. Celebrities like Salman Khan, Ajay Devgn, Sonu Sood, Guru Randhawa, Varun Dhawan, and politician Tej Pratap Yadav have come forward to help Rajpal Yadav.
