South Indian superstar, Vikram recently lost oodles of weight and was unrecognisable when he had to play a mentally challenged character Krishna, in his film Deiva Thirumagal.

Stories about actors going through rigorous rigmaroles are many. But while we get to hear many stories from excited PR personnel about how a particular star is preparing himself/herself for a role, save an Aamir Khan or Hrithik Roshan to some extent, we don't really see Bollywood stars seriously getting into any character. The biggest 'risk' that they would perhaps take is to change their hairstyle.

Even the most sensible actors take a short route when it comes to getting into the character. One would have loved to see Priyanka Chopra going through some drastic transformation for her delicious role in 7 Khoon Maaf. But all we got to see was her otherwise intelligent brain cosily sitting under a hideous hairpiece.
