Jackky transforms body for Nitin Kakkar's next

Actor Jackky Bhagnani has undergone body transformation for his role in director Nitin Kakkars upcoming yet-to-be-titled film.

Jackky will be playing the role of a Gujarati boy in the movie, which will also feature Kritika Kamra.

Jackky took to a Ketogenic diet for the project and lost 15 kgs in 20 days, read a statement.

Ketogenic diet is a high-fat, adequate-protein, low-carbohydrate diet where the diet forces the body to burn fats rather than carbohydrates.

"As I broke my knee earlier this year and gained a lot while doing rehab I had to loose all of that weight as Nitin sir wanted me to look a certain way and diet plays a very important role when you are trying to do a transformation. I believe where there is a will there is a way," said Jackky.

Jackky will next be seen in "Kedarnath", which is slated to release next year.
