Ranveer Singh’s hard work

Several media reports state that Ranveer was diagnosed with dengue while shooting for the film. His condition was reportedly cited ‘serious’ as he wasn’t recovering quickly. The actor was seen playing a Gujarati character and hence had to learn Gujarati cuss words for his rowdy role.

Along with it, Ranveer had to follow a strict diet to attain an apt look. He was reportedly asked to eat fish, broccoli and turkey more. He was also prevented from eating sweets, rice and roti.

Ranveer Singh, after looking at an image of Hrithik Roshan’s muscles, asked his instructor Kris Gethin to train him too. Not only that, but he also enrolled for a 12-week transformation programmer with Lloyd Stevens. The programme involved him eating every two hours and increasing his protein intake.

Despite the difficulties, Ranveer managed to acquire his look within 6 weeks. As stated by IMDb, Ranveer said in a statement that he had to work out twice in a day, once prior to his shooting schedule and then the next after wrapping up.
