Rajkummar Rao on physical transformation
Rao, who is one of the most prolific actors in the industry, has undergone physical transformations for many of his films. Recently, for two of his movies, the Ganguly biopic and another based on Ujjwal Nikam, he significantly changed his appearance. In February, when he made a public appearance, Rao looked visibly bulky with a different hairline, which led many to worry about his health.
As concerns grew around his appearance, the actor issued a clarification, revealing that his new look was for his upcoming films.

Taking to his Instagram, the actor shared pictures of Nikam and Ganguly 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. 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."
