Rajkummar Rao transforms for Nikam
Rajkummar Rao finished shooting the biopic NIKAM.
For Ujjwal Nikam, Rao packed on roughly 9 to 10 kilos.
Pizzas, sweets, Aloo Parathas, and Biryani fueled the bulk-up.
His team thinned out his hair despite the stylist's pushback.

The film is expected to hit screens soon.
