Whether it’s extreme weight loss or intense character prep, he pushes boundaries for authenticity every single time.
Sarbjit, Swatantrya Veer Savarkar, and even his Hollywood film Extraction show his body and psyche transformation.
Decades into his career, Madhavan still reshapes himself physically and emotionally as per the film’s demands.
He easily depicts the look, body language, facial expressions, and energy of the characters required.
Ranveer went bald for Bajirao Mastani, adopted a street vibe in Gully Boy, and mirrored Kapil Dev’s energy in 83.
With each project, Adarsh Gourav transforms physically, emotionally, and culturally to make his characters feel real.
He is often called Bollywood’s “Mr. Perfectionist” and rightly so.
Aamir sculpted and then gained weight for Dangal, setting the gold standard for immersive preparation.
Known for his willingness to experiment, Gulshan has always impressed fans with his physical and psychological shifts.
From heavy prosthetics in Ghost Stories to dual-layered performance in Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota, he has done it all.
