Ever since the Dhoom 3 trailer was released on YouTube, everyone's been gushing about Aamir Khan's superbly stylish look and toned, lithe body as he brings to life a character christened the Clown Thief. The actor who took bulking up to the next level with Ghajini has pulled off another amazing transformation in this movie. Word on the streets is that the actor went on a very strict diet and exercise regime for this movie.
Aamir Khan, who's playing a gymnast in the movie, has undergone a complete change of physique, losing a lot of weight. According to media reports, the actor had to bring his weight down to 60 kg with just 10% body fat! To put this in context, the actor weighed 73 kg Ghajini where he packed on some serious muscle. A source told Mid-Day, 'To play a gymnast, your body has to very flexible and being lighter always helps. Aamir will undergo a lot of functional training and free hand exercises for the same.'
His former trainer Satyajit Chaurasia, had said, 'Before Three Idiots, he had said to me that his body feels like the Taj Mahal, and now I would have to break it down. But, by now, Aamir's body is flexible enough to mould into any shape or size. Of course, his dedication to get it absolutely bang on is commendable.'
