It`s often that one hears of transformations where an actor gets lean or ripped for a movie role. However, very few actors have adopted a different approach to gain weight like Aamir Khan, Salman Khan and now it`s Kartik Aaryan. After wrapping up his film `Dhamaka` in a record time of 10 days, Kartik went on to do something different for `Freddy` as well.
Kartik gained about 12 to 14 kilos, which was a requirement for his role in Ekta Kapoor`s `Freddy`, a romantic thriller packed with unpredictable twists and sharp turns. He worked closely with his trainer Samir Jaura on his physique based on the requirements of his character in `Freddy`. Sameer is known to be quite the pro at body transformations and has worked with some of the biggest names in Bollywood through their transformation journeys.
