Gully Boy
If you’re a die-hard Ranveer fan, you must have noticed how the actor showcased the striking metamorphosis he underwent to prepare for Gully Boy. He posted a picture on his Instagram where we can see him go from macho-esque bulky to lean. In contrast to the typical approach of building muscle and sculpting an impressive physique, the actor opted for a remarkable weight loss journey, shedding a significant amount of weight for the movie. This transformation was undertaken to authentically portray the lives of underground Mumbai rappers, on which the film is based.
