Bollywood actor Rajkummar Rao is preparing himself hard for his forthcoming role in the comedy, Badhaai Do. The actor through his Instagram post revealed on Tuesday that he is working on a new body as well as a new mindset for the upcoming film. It’s learnt that Rajkummar has been training rigorously for the past couple of months to get into the desired role of a tough cop at a Mahila Police Thana, as the film is slated to go on floors in January 2021.
Besides working on his body, the actor is reportedly following a strict diet and exercise regime. Rajkummar shared a photograph on his gram, where he is seen lifting weight. The actor has acquired a bulked-up body for his new role as he flaunts his muscular frame in the picture.

Two years after their National Award-winning film, Badhaai Ho, Junglee Pictures is set to take the success of the movie to the next level with Badhaai Do. While the first film starred Ayushmann Khurrana and Sanya Malhotra, the new film casts Rajkummar Rao and Bhumi Pednekar.
