Talking about his weight gain journey for the role, Fawad revealed how it took a toll on his health. Speaking with Something Haute, Fawad Khan revealed, "It is not the best thing I did to myself. I would never do that again. I just made some questionable choices, which negatively affected me. There is a dark underbelly to all of these physical transformations and people should know that when you make these decisions, it is taking a huge toll on your health. And it happened. Ten days into it, I was hospitalised. My kidneys shut down."



"I was told to walk less and eliminate stress completely. I was putting in insane hours. It’s not the right way to do these things because the thing is I had limited time. Due to whatever circumstances, it happened the way it happened. I am not Christian Bale but I tried to do what he does, even Aamir Khan for that matter. It is not a transformation that I would encourage for anyone. Absolutely never," he added.



The Legend Of Maula Jatt is a remake of the 1979 cult classic Maula Jatt. The film is scheduled to open in theatres on October 13, 2022.
