An actor is someone who can go to any extent to mold himself into his character. Sometimes he changes himself so much that it is very difficult to recognize him. But sometimes, experimenting for his character proves to be costly for the actor. Something similar happened with a superstar. He lost so much weight for his character that doctors warned him that if he did not stop losing weight, he could even lose his life. Let’s find out who he is?
Losing weight was a huge challenge for this actor
The actor we are talking about is none other than Tamil film superstar Vikram. In an interview given to Pinkvilla, Vikram had told that his organs almost failed due to his transformation for director Shankar’s film ‘I’. He played the role of a bodybuilder-supermodel in this film, who later becomes a hunchback. He said, ‘At that time my weight had reduced from 86 kg to 52 kg and I wanted to come down to 50 kg.’
organs may stop working
The doctor got worried about Vikram’s continuous weight loss and warned the actor. Vikram said, ‘My doctor said, ‘We should not get excited because some changes are happening inside your body, your organs may stop working and once the organs stop working, we do not know how to cure you.’ After this, I removed the thought of losing weight from my mind.
Risk taken in this film too
Along with this, Vikram told that he had taken a risk for the film Kashi. In this film, Vikram played the role of a blind person. During the shooting, he was unable to see properly for two to three months. His eyelids were always up during the shooting. He said, ‘I was in danger of getting squinting.’
