Hrithik Roshan has virtually stopped hitting the gym these days and is leaving no stone unturned to put on some weight - all for his role in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Guzaarish.

Bhansali is believed to have given strict instructions to Hrithik to shed his muscular image and put on weight on his stomach and abs. What’s more? He has also been asked not to cut his hair and beard.

It has also been revealed that Hrithik plays a paraplegic patient and is on a wheelchair for a major portion in the film. “He has been practicing for the role wheeling around himself and has been researching paraplegic patients too,” a source said.

Not surprisingly, the dedicated actor has no qualms about not going to the gym and is all geared up to surprise the audience with his plump look.
