Aamir Khan is famous for experimenting with his looks.He had developed eight-pack abs for Ghajini and then become leaner for the to-bereleased 3 Idiots. But it seems he is not the only one who is willing to take such risks. An increasing number of actors in Bollywood seem to be realising that it helps to get into the skin of the character.The latest example is Ranvir Shorey. Ranvir has gained a lot of weight for his new release, which is aptly titled Fatso.
(Abhishek Bachchan had also turned a fatso for the movie, Guru) “I had to put on more than 15 kilos,” says Ranvir. Fatso is based on five friends. On his role, he elaborates: “I play one of the friends. My character is very awkward and shy because of his weight. His friends love playing tricks on him but he is also adored a lot.” Was it hard putting on so much weight? “The character I play looks fatter. So, even after gaining so much weight, I had to put on a lot of makeup and resort to padding. But the problem is, no padding can be done on the face and the neck and hence, I had to put on around 15 kg,” Ranvir explains.
But the effort has paid off.Fatso was recently showcased at the South Asian International Film Festival in New York and Ranvir’s role was appreciated.The actor says: “The movie has been received well. It was the opening film of the festival, the centre piece.” Ranvir is in a mood to celebrate, but he can’t for obvious reasons. His next role is not that of a fatso.
