Ali Fazal is now channelling his focus entirely on Mirzapur: The Movie and in true Ali fashion, he\u2019s taking an unconventional route to prepare for the role of Guddu Bhaiya.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Adding to the authenticity, Ali is reportedly leaning on his family\u2019s time-honoured recipes, rich in natural proteins, ghee, milk, and seasonal produce to support his diet, giving his transformation a homegrown touch. These wholesome, nutrient-packed meals are designed to fuel gruelling gym sessions and wrestling-inspired drills, all while keeping him connected to his cultural heritage.<\/p>\n

Speaking about this unique preparation, a source close to Ali shared, \u201cGuddu Bhaiya is a beast in his own right, and he wanted to approach him, this time with the same authenticity that his ancestors brought to their craft. His family has a long history in Pehelwani, and he grew up watching the discipline, the grit, and the sheer physical power it demands. So instead of gulping down endless protein shakes, he is going back to those roots training like a wrestler, eating like a wrestler.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile Ali reflects on his current fitness routine \u201cThe idea is to build a body that\u2019s not just for show but one that can truly fight, endure, and dominate, just like Guddu would. This is my way of bringing a fresher, fiercer Guddu to the screen.”<\/p>\n

With the buzz around Mirzapur: The Movie already at an all-time high, fans can expect a raw, powerful, and deeply authentic return of Guddu Bhaiya, one that blends the grit of the streets with the might of the Akhada.<\/p>\n
