Akshay Kumar is the only actor in Bollywood who can give anyone a run for their money when it comes to fitness. We all know that he does most of his stunts on his own and there is no second-guessing his fitness.

With each role in Bollywood, we have only seen him getting fitter. However, recently he got the chance to do the complete opposite for a film. Yes, you read that right!

While filming for Aanand L Rai’s upcoming film Raksha Bandhan, in which he plays a Dilli ka ladka, he had to gain weight for this role.

Interestingly, he lost six kgs to look leaner as a cop in Rohit Shetty’s Sooryavanshi and then had to bulk up for his next film.

In an interview, Akshay Kumar said, “I quite enjoy the process of losing or gaining weight for a character because I am able to do it in a healthy way. I have gained 5 kgs in a totally natural process. And it also allowed me the rare indulgence of eating meri maa ke haath ka halwa. What a blessing!”

He expressed that he enjoys the process of any transformation that he does for his films.

In June, Akshay Kumar revealed that he started filming for the film Raksha Bandhan. He also dedicated this film to his sister Alka and said, “Growing up my sister, Alka was my first friend. It was the most effortless friendship. Aanand L Rai’s Raksha Bandhan is a dedication to her and a celebration of that special bond.”
