Entertainment Sep 18, 2025

Ali Fazal is tapping into his roots for "Mirzapur: The Movie," training in traditional Indian wrestling (Pehelwani) to get into Guddu Bhaiya mode.
Inspired by his family's history, he's hoping this old-school approach will boost his strength and bring extra authenticity to the role.

Fazal's diet and workout regime

Fazal's routine is all about pehelwan-style exercises focused on functional strength, endurance, and raw power.
He's also sticking to a protein-rich diet with family recipes—think ghee, milk, and seasonal produce—to power through intense workouts and wrestling drills.
