Lootere: Aamir Ali Opens Up About His Body Transformation for His Character, Says ‘I Don’t Look Like Myself’
In preparation for his role in the Disney+ Hotstar series Lootere, Aamir Ali underwent a significant physical transformation. He stopped working out and grew out his body hair to achieve a more ordinary appearance for his character, who isn't supposed to look particularly fit. Ali emphasises the dramatic change, stating viewers won't recognise him in the second half of the series.
Actor Aamir Ali has shared details about how he got into the skin of the character he is playing in Lootere. He revealed that he doesn’t look like himself, and for that, had to stop working out and grow his chest hair. Ali shared: “When you see the show, I come in the second half. You will see a completely different side of me, I don’t look like myself. I had to stop working out as my character had to look very normal. He didn’t have to look built or very fit. I gave up working out and grew my arm and chest hair, just to look normal.” Lootere Trailer: Rajat Kapoor’s Upcoming Web Series Is All About Terror, Greed and Survival, Jai Mehta’s Directorial Debut to Premiere on Disney+ Hotstar From March 22 (Watch Video).
He said that the makers did not want the character to look “predictable.” “When you see the show, you will understand that my character’s journey starts as a normal undercover agent and then of course, eventually what happens, happens. I also had to go through rigorous acting workshops to truly give a standout performance.” Lootere Trailer: Hansal Mehta’s Upcoming Thriller Starring Rajat Kapoor, Aamir Ali and Amruta Khanvilkar, Promises Gripping Story of Piracy (Watch Video).
