Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan who spent a year buffing up for Ghajini was left heartbroken when he had to lose his famed eight pack abs for his role in 3 Idiots.
The 44-year-old actor spent six months losing weight for the film where he plays Rancho, an IIT student, with a normal physique.
"I had to lose weight for the role because I am playing a normal student and a buffed up look would not have worked. But it was heartbreaking to lose the entire year's hard work that had gone into building my body for Ghajini," said Aamir who was in the city to unveil a song from the film, called Sunshine.
The actor said that he was "scared" about playing a young college student in the film and therefore worked hard on his look in the film.
"I had to play a 22-year-old college student and the very idea was scary because I am 44-years old. I wanted to look as small in the film as possible, so I lost all the weight and also walked with a bit of a hunch," said Aamir.
The film by Rajkumar Hirani marks the reunion of Aamir, Sharman Joshi and Madhavan who had earlier worked together in the superhit Rang De Basanti.
The three actors said that their looks in the film were created keeping in mind their characters and not vice-versa.
