5 Physical Transformations to look out for in the Upcoming Hindi Films of 2018

Being an actor is no easy feat, especially when you are portraying different individuals on screen. For someone who plays the role of a different person each time on screen, getting under the skin of the character can sometimes be physically taxing. You have to change the way you walk, talk, sit and stand only to justify yourself as an on-screen replica of an actual live human being.

That means you even have to look the part several times making them change their physical appearance to look convincing to act the part well. Here are 5 actors who underwent major body transformations for their upcoming films in 2018.
