Ranbir Kapoor in Sanju and Shamshera
In the last few years alone, Ranbir Kapoor juggled between the shooting schedules of Sanju, Shamshera, and Brahmastra: Part One – Shiva — three films that saw him sport significantly different physiques. Aptly complementing his trainer for his astute understanding of fitness science, Kapoor has often credited Kunal Gir for enabling him to look the part in all his films.
Tracing his journey with Kapoor, Gir recalls how he had to switch his diet to mould him from the 72-kilo Jagga Bagchi in Jagga Jasoos, to the 84-kilo Sanjay Dutt, in Sanju. “In the midst of shooting for Jagga Jasoos, we had to start preparing for Sanju. We had to work in such a way that his lifting sessions weren’t hampering his look in Jagga Jasoos, but we were still staying on track to film Sanju. For Jagga, he was on a two-meal plan, because he had to have a young look. From there, we had to put him on an eight-meal plan for Sanju. Doing that was tough, so we would make him eat four meals, and then have four protein shakes as supplement,” says Gir, adding that for Dutt’s film, their aim was to build size, not definition. “We put him on a calorie surplus and increased his workload to facilitate a 12-kilo weight gain.”
