Himesh Reshammiya will play an ex-cop turned superstar in his next film, The Xpose, which is a thriller set in 1960s' Bollywood. The composer, singer and actor have shed 20 kilos to fit into the role of Ravi Kumar, which is inspired by the late actor Raaj Kumar.
Himesh, who weighed 77 kilos when he started preparing for the film five months ago, adopted an organic diet to go with his training regimen. And now, he weighs 57 kilos. Along with shunning carbohydrates, he also stopped eating between 9 pm and 9 am.
The negative character in the film played by Yo Yo Honey Singh is apparently inspired by Pran. Actor Irrfan Khan also makes a special appearance here. Miss India 2013 second runner-up, Zoya Afroz, and actress Sonali Raut, are playing characters inspired by Parveen Babi and Zeenat Aman respectively.
Directed by Anant Mahadevan, The Xpose is also produced by HR Musik. Well, seems like Himesh is going for a complete makeover for his home production next!  Show less
