Jaideep Ahlawat recalls the advice of Aditya Chopra before Maharaj Prep
I bow down to Jaideep Ahlawat's passion and hard work. The YRF Entertainment-backed Raazi actor lost 27 pounds to play a godman in the Netflix movie Maharaj. Are you wondering who inspired him? It was none other than Aditya Chopra, the producer. During an exchange with Aamir Khan's son, co-star Junaid Khan, Jaideep disclosed that Aditya Chopra had urged him to reduce his weight. Junaid praises Jaideep Ahlawat for his 'drastic physical transformation' during the Netflix discussion segment. The Jaane Jaan actor responded to this by saying, 'This was my first assignment after lockdown.'
Aditya Chopra made the lovely statement, 'Everyone thinks you'll nail it.' Everyone thinks you're a talented actress. However, I believe that the audience will react differently if you attempt something fresh. Consequently, if you reduce weight, you'll look fantastic. We'll arrange your physique in that manner. I said, 'All right, sir.' I weighed exactly 109.7 kg. I gained 82 kg of weight over five months.
'I still remember the look on his face on day one,' Jaideep Ahlawat said, recalling fitness trainer Prajwal Shetty. We started exercising, and I was unable to complete my sixth push-up. I remained on the earth. I said to him, 'I can do it, sir,' as I turned to face him. But he had such terrible conviction in his eyes. With elegance, Jaideep took on the challenge and in only one month, shed 8–9 kg. But the pain was excruciating. I've been shown sobbing on tapes that Prajwal Shetty (I) owns.'
A montage of Jaideep Ahlawat's before and after photos was uploaded on Instagram the day before the video was released. In five months, I went from 109.7 kg to 83 kg. That is how the role of Maharaj has been physically transformed. I appreciate your faith in me, Prajwal Sir,' he wrote.
