Pratik, who worked so hard on getting a muscular look, has been asked to lose all muscle for his role in Raghav Dar's My Friend Pinto, produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali.

Of late, Pratik's body was the topic of discussion in the town. But when Pratik was seen at a recent get-together, he had lost all muscle and was back to normal. Everyone was surprised to see how soon Pratik had lost weight.

According to sources, Pratik stopped going to the gym on Bhansali's instructions. Instead, he started attending Capoeira workshops. Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian form of dance/martial arts which is acrobatic. It helped him go from brawny to skinny.

Pratik's role in the film is that of a nerd from Goa.
