Akshay Kumar is known to be a committed fitness freak. The superstar who is very particular about his diet and exercise regime, also believes in getting the right look for every character he plays. However, for a courtroom sequence in the upcoming Tinu Suresh Desai directorial Rustom, the actor went a few extra miles. He plays a naval officer in this film which is based on the trial of an Indian Navy Commander after he killed his wife's lover in November 1959.

We hear Akshay lost quite a few kilos for this court scene as he was expected to have high cheekbones for it. So, the actor banished carbs and high-calorie food items from his diet and exercised harder to get the right look. And as you can see, a picture speaks a thousand words.

Rustom, produced by Zee Studios and Kriarj Entertainment in association with Cape Of Good Films and Plan C, releases August 12.
