Mumbai: Still not able to make a wild guess? It's none other than actor Randeep Hooda, who has lost 18 kg in just 28 days for his upcoming film Sarbjit, and the film's director Omung Kumar has revealed the now widely circulated photo of the actor.

Sarbjit is a biopic on Sarabjit Singh, an Indian farmer who was convicted for terrorism and spying in Pakistan and was sentenced to death. He was attacked by inmates at a prison in Lahore in April 2013 and died a few days later.
"When I had approached Randeep for this role, I was very clear in my mind that I need someone who is open about going through a rigorous weight loss, as the role demanded lots of different looks," Kumar said in a statement.
"Randeep took that as a challenge and agreed upon giving 100 percent dedication not to prove that he can do it as an actor, but to do justice to the character and the film.
"The role needed Randeep to look very fragile with his bones visible. He shed around 18 kg weight in 28 days, went through a strict diet, and in fact, in the last few days he was living completely on water," added Kumar, who is mighty impressed with Randeep.
Sarbjit is slated to hit the screens on May 19, a day before it was scheduled to hit the screens.
