Sushant Singh Rajput needs to bulk up for Nitesh Tiwari's Chhichhore. He has been told to gain at least 10 kg. The coming-of-age drama is set in two parts. The unit has wrapped up the first half, which focusses on his character's youth and is set in the early '90s.

SSR should appear heavier in the next two months, when his character's adulthood scenes will be shot. Ever since his small screen days in Pavitra Rishta, the actor has always had a lean look. He is said to have begun a new diet and exercise regime to appear rough and tough.
