Vivek's Quote
"Yes, I will need to undergo a full body transformation as that is what the role requires....I will have to lose a significant amount of weight and then again gain weight for several portions...of course, I will be doing this under the supervision of a nutritionist and a certified trainer...as an actor I always give what a role requires and this role requires me to look a certain way.In real-life-based movie you need to look like the character... people should relate to your character even physically.I definitely do not encourage this as a lifestyle example but I'm doing it as that is what the role requires.But,yes I always advise people to be healthy and stay fit."
