‘Dhurandhar 2’ has been the talk of the town ever since the film released in theatres. While it’s breaking several box office records, every actor of the film is getting love from the audience. Ranveer Singh has won hearts with his performance as Hamza and Jaskirat with many calling it his career-best. The actor also underwent a physical trasnformation for the film and had to get into a ‘beast’ mode. In a recent interview, fitness trainer turned actor Mustafa Ahmed who placed Rizwan in the film has spoken about how Ranveer got into his ‘Dhurandhar’ physique. He said during a chat with Hindustan Times, “Ranveer is a treat to train. The world knows of his energy. He enjoys weight training. In Ranveer’s words, ‘Sir, loha todte hain.’ Two training sessions a day, for about four to five weeks, that’s how we got Ranveer to look like a man who can rip a person apart with his hands.” Revealing what Ranveer loves, he added, “I can tell you that when it comes to Nutella, Ranveer Singh can sniff it out. He will just go and find where Nutella is.”
“It was Aditya sir’s instruction that Ranveer has to look like a beast in Dhurandhar, but he cannot be stiff. We had a very short period of time before shooting began, and Ranveer was only 75–76 kgs. On the first shoot day, he was 87 kgs. We had to eat a lot!” Singh further revealed. During the same chat, he also spoke about the other actors he has trained with. Mustafa spoke about Hrithik and said, “He can eat! I’ve seen him eat 13–14 ghee waali chapatis, and he only stopped eating because the next chapati took time to be brought to him. He’s an absolute foodie.”

How do you feel about the rigorous training Ranveer Singh underwent for the role?
He also trained Vicky Kaushal for a brief period of time for ‘Ashwatthama’, but then the film was shelved. “Vicky Kaushal can eat a brick and digest it. I don’t know what kind of metabolism he has. It’s so difficult to make him put on weight or build muscle. You know, Vicky can just eat anything and digest it,” he said.
