RajKummar has been facing trolls over his sudden weight gain and older look after clips from his recent public appearance went viral. To clarify doubts, the actor took to Instagram on Monday and shared details about his visible transformation.

His post read, "My being is through my Art. Just finished shooting for my next Biopic #NIKAM and yes, it has demanded me to change physically which I love doing. I’m not a believer in prosthetics as long as I can achieve the look through my hard work which I’ve achieved in Nikam, be it gaining weight or looking old (to play a certain age) or to make my hair thin which my hair stylist was very much against but everyone told me to not go half bald for BOSE also and to gain that much weight or to Not stop eating and lose so much weight for TRAPPED or to not behave like a visually impaired person even when cameras weren’t rolling during SRIKANTH."
