Hrithrik pumps up for new action role?

Hrithik Roshan may need to put on weight for his role in a new action film.

The actor famously shed pounds to play a paraplegic in Guzaarish.

A source told Mumbai Mirror: "Welcome to the Jungle is an adventure film which will see Hrithik in a never-seen-before avatar.

"The actor will undergo tremendous physical transformation for his role."

However, director Sanjay Khan only confirmed that Roshan has so far seen the script.

He added: "Yes, there will be a major transformation as you say. But I haven't finalised or signed anyone. The actors signed will have to undergo a drastic change as compared to their current look."
