New Delhi, Sep 07 (ANI): After basking in the success of Bareilly Ki Barfi, actor Rajkummar Rao is all geared up to get into the skin of character of Indian freedom fighter, Subhas Chandra Bose. From shaving his head to putting on 11 kgs for the role, Rao has done it all and with a smile for a series directed by Hansal Mehta. Talking to a leading daily, Rajkummar said, "My diet plan was just to eat as much from Sweets to Pizzas to biryanis to parathas with lot of cheese and ghee. As actors, we are always on a constant diet but this was my chance to just let go and enjoy all the scrumptious food as much. Lot of sweets, Pizzas, Biryanis and Parathas but mainly sweets. I wanted to feel like a different person altogether. That's why I shaved my head half and gained all this weight and that's exactly what happened, when I looked at myself after 3-4 weeks of hogging. I couldn't see Raj in the mirror and I started my preparation from there." Creative producer of Bose-Dead/Alive by ALT Balaji, Hansal Mehta shared, "People go on a diet to lose weight, but Rajkummar went on a diet to increase weight. The fact we were in Kolkata helped as he ate sandhesh, rasgullas, and all the possible sweets along with cheese laden pizzas, butter dripping Aloo Parathas.
