Shahrukh Khan explains How he lost weight for 'Ra. One'

If Aamir Khan flaunted his trimmed and toned down body for ‘3 Idiots’, then Shahrukh Khan shed oodles of pounds for Ra. One. But unlike Aamir’s case, it wasn’t a conscious effort on his part. This is how SRK lost weight:

In a press conference, Shahrukh (who is stepping into superhero genre for the 1st time in his near 20 year long career) dished out a bit about his film Ra. One which is in the pipeline currently and spoke of his experience while filming it.

Flashing a skinnier look, he explained that one of the reasons he was looking leaner was the superhero suits that he had to wear for the shoot. The suits, made from silicon and rubber, were extremely uncomfortable and made him feel extremely hot and choked up. Besides, the weather in Mumbai as well as in London was quite sultry and the heat was searing despite the modern day boon of air conditioners. SRK also explained that he had to wear a skiing suit inside which the skiers wear to protect them from cold. In such unpleasant weather and conditions, wearing the superhero costume (for 8-9 hours incessantly) made SRK lose weight.
