Generally, actors, who have to lose weight significantly
take months to achieve the desired look but Randeep Hooda, who plays the hero
in Omung Kumar's next Sarbjit, took just a month to lose 18 kilos for a few
sequences of the movie.
Randeep had a month to transform himself from a hunk to a
starving man confined in a small prison cell. His diet was closely looked by
his sister Dr Anjali Hooda-Sangwan, an Obesity, Metabolic Medicine and Clinical
Nutrition Specialist who put him on a very low calorie diet of proteins and
greens with a few cheat days when he could have some starch depending on his
activity levels. The diet allowed him between 500-600 calories every day, but
varied depending on weight, hydration levels, vitamin deficiency and his body's
reaction to the food intake.
Sarbjit is based on the life of Sarbjit Singh, an Indian
farmer, who was convicted on grounds of espionage by the Pakistani government.
Apart from Hooda, the film also stars Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Richa Chadda.
