Ajay Devgn bulks up for ‘Bol Bachchan’

Ajay Devgn is trying very hard to get into the skin of his character for his upcoming movie ‘Bol Bachchan.’

In the Rohit-Shetty directed film, Ajay plays a wrestler called Pehalwan Prithviraj Raghuvanshi. According to crew members, since this was the first time Ajay was playing a wrestler, he had taken the challenge too seriously.

The star apparently shocked the unit when he lifted traditional akhada equipment called the Bellam that nearly weighs 50 kilos and is used by Pehalwans for intensive training sessions. Initially Rohit Shetty had kept a light weight for the shoot but the perfectionist that he is, Ajay insisted on using the heavier weight. No wonder after the shot Ajay was called the new 'Hulk' by everyone on the sets.

The 43-year-old actor has been undergoing a tough fitness routine designed by fitness trainer Prashant Sawant for the role. Whether it’s gymming in the morning and evening or working out just before his shots, Ajay is apparently very committed to the routine. He has also been avoiding carbohydrates in his diet to be super fit for the role.

We wonder if good friend and macho man Salman has been impressed by Ajay’s ripped body!
