Ali Fazal is a Bollywood actor who is known for his roles in Hindi movies and shows. His character, Guddu Bhaiya in Mirzapur, is very popular, and as Mirzapur: The Movie is in the works, he is taking an unconventional route to prepare for his character.

Ali dives into his family roots

Fazal is bulking up for the movie, and instead of relying solely on modern supplements and protein shakes, sources close to the actor reveal that Ali is diving into his family roots of Pehelwani and Kushti, traditional Indian wrestling, to build strength and bulk. The actor, whose family history is steeped in this age-old sport, is said to be training in classic pehelwan-style workouts, which focus on functional strength, endurance, and raw power.
