The Actor Shares His Struggles and Triumphs in Transforming for His Role
Jaideep Ahlawat’s performance in the latest Netflix film, “Maharaj,” has been widely praised. While his acting skills are well-known, this time, his physical transformation for the character has also caught everyone’s attention. The actor recently opened up about the challenges he faced in losing weight and achieving the desired physique for his role.
A Grueling Transformation
In a candid conversation with Junaid Khan for Netflix India, Jaideep Ahlawat revealed the intense physical demands of his character. Playing a negative role in the film, he shed 27 kg, dropping from 109.7 kg to 82 kg in just five months. The transformation was tough, but producer Aditya Chopra had made it clear that this change would add a new dimension to his performance.
The Tough Journey
Jaideep shared memories of his first day at the gym, where he struggled to complete his fifth pushup. His trainer, Prajwal Shetty, was initially shocked but encouraged him to keep going. Despite the pain and difficulty, Jaideep managed to lose 8-9 kg in the first month. The journey was so intense that he often cried during workout sessions, and his trainer kept videos of those emotional moments.
About “Maharaj”
“Maharaj” is set in 1862 and revolves around the Maharaj Libel Case. It highlights the struggles of journalist and social reformer Karsandas Mulji, who fought for women’s rights in pre-independence India. The film stars Junaid Khan as Karsandas, alongside Jaideep Ahlawat, Sharvari Wagh, and Shalini Pandey.
Originally scheduled for release on June 14, the film faced a delay due to a hold by the Gujarat High Court but was finally released on Netflix on June 21. Since then, it has received a warm response and has proven to be a success.
Jaideep Ahlawat’s dedication to his role in “Maharaj” not only showcases his acting prowess but also his determination and hard work in undergoing a significant physical transformation, making the film even more impactful.
