In the spotlight for his stellar performance in the movie Animal, Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor is not only making waves for his acting chops but also for his commendable fitness journey that has everyone talking. The man who supported Kapoor's impressive transformation is none other than his private chef, Ramaskanda Shastry, who recently spilled the beans on the meticulous preparations undertaken for the film. Private chefs, especially those catering to celebrities, are tasked with creating meals tailored to their nutritional needs. Chef Ramaskanda Shastry, on his Instagram handle 'chefshastry', revealed the kind of diet Ranbir Kapoor followed for Animal.
"When the prep for Animal began, we knew we were preparing for something 'MASSive.' Since it was crucial for Ranbir's character to look a certain way, it was essential that he gained some weight and muscle. So, we put in all our effort into planning his diet," shared Shastry in a revealing Instagram post.
