Ranbir, 34, will be seen in three different looks- beefy body, a lean look from 90's and the third look will showcase his phase in drug rehab. He has gained more than 13 kgs of weight which comprises of muscle and no fat to match up with the muscular physique of Sanjay Dutt. Baahubali star Rana Daggubati has helped Ranbir in a big way to help him build his physique like Sanjay Dutt. Rana has introduced him to a Hyderabad-based trainer Kunal Gir, who earlier trained him for Baahubali.
Ranbir is on strict diet, revealed Kunal. He shared, "There has been a change in Ranbir's diet. He has started eating a lot of vegetables now days earlier he used to eat very less and his meals comprised mainly of meat earlier. Now Ranbir eats his food on time and has a proper balanced diet."

Kunal Gir said, "He has gained more than 13 kgs now which is all muscle and no fat. His waist line has gone down by an inch and he has been loosing fat while building up. Ranbir has an hour-and-a-half of intense work out sessions. It’s a big challenge bulking up Ranbir up like Sanjay, but the former is committed to-do whatever needs to be done. He wakes up at 3 am, has a protein shake and goes back to sleep."
Rana Dagubatti had also undergone rigorous training sessions to play Bhalla Deva in S S Rajamouli's magnum opus Baahubali: The Conclusion.
