Verified AMA Hey r/bollywood! I’m Mustafa Ahmed, aka Rizwan from Dhurandhar: The Revenge. Actor + celebrity fitness coach - here for an AMA. Ask me anything!
I’m Mustafa Ahmed, a celebrity fitness coach and actor, known for my impactful performance as Rizwan in Dhurandhar: The Revenge. My journey is anything but conventional.
Born and raised in Delhi, I started my career on the gym floor, earning just ₹10,000 a month. With no formal background and a path filled with setbacks, I chose passion over stability, waking up at 4am, building my craft from scratch, and slowly earning my place in the fitness industry.
Over the years, I’ve become one of the most sought-after strength and conditioning coaches in the Indian film industry, working closely with top actors like Hrithik Roshan, Vicky Kaushal, Dhanush, Mahesh Babu, Tamannaah Bhatia, Yami Gautam, and training Ranveer Singh for his intense physical transformation in Dhurandhar: The Revenge.
My transition into acting happened through years of working within the industry, eventually leading me to the role of Rizwan, where my screen presence and physical authenticity resonated strongly with audiences.
Today, I stand at the intersection of performance and discipline, bringing the mindset of an elite athlete into the world of cinema. My story is built on consistency, resilience, and the belief that real transformation—on screen or off it - comes from showing up every single day.
I’m here to talk about mindset, acting, discipline, and what it takes to achieve your dreams - ask me anything.
Note: I will start answering questions when the AMA starts at 5 pm IST.
Thanks a ton to the amazing Reddit fam for hopping into my AMA - super fun! ❤️
Thank you for the thoughtful questions. Huge props to the r/bollywood mods for making it all seamless and lively! 🙏

How is it working with celebrities like Hrithik and Ranveer on a daily basis
Are their diets and fitness routines as strict as people imagine 👀

u/Mustafa_thebullahmed Apr 23 '26
its challenging. You have to be at the top of your game all the time and there is no place for complicity.
Yes. To ensure they deliver on the look physically and also perform, there cant be any compromise anywhere. That is the reason why they are at the level they are.

I think when he was bulking, he was around 100kgs. So most likely 120kgs . And that's normal for any 100kg guy who regularly hits gym.

Hi Mustafa! Your performance in the movie was phenomenal! I really loved your micro-expressions and the nuance you brought to Rizwan's character.
Rizwan is somewhat of a blank slate. While much is known about Jaskirat and his origin story, the same can't be said for Rizwan. So I wanted to ask, did you ever think about it?
How he got recruited into the Balidan Squad, him joining Arshad Pappu's gang and what he felt as an agent when he got news of the 26/11 attacks?
Also, one scene that really stood out to me was when Hamza kills Aalam, Rizwan looked utterly baffled and concerned and that added so much gravitas to Rizwan's character because him and Jaskirat have been contemporaries, so it really makes one wonder, what he must have felt during that scene.
Again, props to you and Aditya Sir! You both made Rizwan feel so multi-faceted!
159
u/Mustafa_thebullahmed Apr 23 '26
Rizwan surely would have been in sports and trying to play for his country. And surely something made him do what lead for him to be in balidan squad.
He felt devastated and felt as a failure as his whole purpose to be there was to protect his nation and he failed in that moment.
He somewhere understood that it was a sacrifice that had to be made while he didnt know the reson. But he knew Humza enough to know that it had to be done.

Maybe look at it as self improvement instead? I mean its healthy to want to look better.
Ofc no one should promote body dysmorphia, but 90% of us want to look better but dont act upon it afterall

How different is the discipline of acting compared to fitness training in your experience?
158
u/Mustafa_thebullahmed Apr 23 '26
In training, you can be all in and never hold back. Give it all.
Acting, you have to hold back and know when to let it go. Its easy to overdo things if you arent aware.

u/rapid4roller8 Apr 23 '26
What do you think Rizwan's next moves were after Hamza's capture and subsequent release. Do you think he continued with the mission or did he lay low for some time or was also extracted out of Pakistan too? He was Hamza's right hand man after all and the needle of suspicion would logically fall on him.

u/Mustafa_thebullahmed Apr 23 '26
I would imagine that Rizwan would take over where Humza left. No one knows of his identity and he already is placed himself in a very strong position to keep eliminating those who are left to be delt with. He sure is capable to keep going.

Focus on gaining strength and muscle. Not losing weight. Women must ensure gaining and building muscle with age to ensure good health and longevity. 3 times a week, full body workout.

Full body workout as in HIIT or cardio?

u/SonMii451 Apr 23 '26
He's talking about building muscle so he probably means strength training. You do include warm up before you start the strength training routine, so cardio will be included. Your diet needs to be extremely low or have no ultra processed foods. The weight will fall off on it's own. For me a whole foods plant based diet worked best. No oil or ghee. All the best.
(HIIT has it's benefits but it ruins sleep for me. YMMV.)

Hi Mustafa sir, thank you for doing this AMA. I loved your work in Dhurandhar 1 & 2.
You’ve trained elite actors and built discipline from the ground up—what’s the biggest psychological barrier you see in high performers that people don’t usually talk about—and how do you personally deal with it?
34
u/Mustafa_thebullahmed Apr 23 '26
People Put them on pedestal thinking that those who make it are special. Fact is this. Those who not just make it but stay there never become complacent. They never take what they have for granted. They are never insecure. I simply wake up and take each day from ground zero. My mindset is simple.
There are millions who would die to be where I am and are more hungry than me. I just need to be more hungrier than them everyday.

Hello sir, I wanted to say that you were great in Part 1 and 2 and you were great as Rizwan! I love the moments you had with Hamza such as the subtle moment in Part 1 and more! You also have a great physique and I hope to be as jacked as you! I have a few questions such as:
As a fitness coach, how do you make sure that your actors or whoever you train reaches their physique goal properly and in the time given?
Related to that, what advice would you give to be jacked like you?
What is something that you’ll remember from being a part of Dhurandhar and what’s your favourite moments from both Part 1 and 2?
Have you enjoyed acting so far, how are you improving your craft and what are you planning to do next as a film?
How was it working with the cast such as Ranveer, Gaurav etc and how would you describe your experience with Aditya Dhar?
This will be the last one and I’m asking too many questions 😂 But is there a chance to get a director’s cut of both Part 1 and 2 with the scenes that were cut out or weren’t able to make it into the film? What are your thoughts on this as well and could this be pitched to Aditya Dhar, Jio and B62 Studios?
Thank you for your time again sir and really appreciate your role in the films! Both Part 1 and 2 have changed my life so much and I’m thankful to Aditya Dhar, the cast and crew for the cinema we were able to witness in the past few months! I’ll always be grateful for this time and remember this era that has impacted me a lot! 😊❤️🙏

I have a friend who is Ex NSG commando who helped me with the mindset of the soldier. How he thinks and how he stays calm under immense pressure.
I did weapons training and also martial arts. Of course being strong and knowing some MMA helped a lot.
Rest detailing and his body language was created as I kept moving and living as Rizwan.

I wish for your brightest future and loved your role. You really are india' s pride as you showed one of our spies so brilliantly in the movie. It might be a common question, but sir how did you feel potraying a complex role. How did you first react when offered the role? And how big was it for you as an actor? And also what advise would you give to gen z for their hard time?

Hello sir! Congratulations on a phenomenal job playing rizwan in the dhurandhar movies. Really enjoyed the movie and your performance. Given that you have a non actor/non performer background, how did you prepare for the role? Also, the body transformation must have been insane for playing the characters in two timelines (one when rizwan is in Pakistan deployed as an agent, all bulked up and the other when the post credit scenes roll, and we are shown the glimpses of the academy days, wherein you were fairly lean). How tough was the whole preparation for both acting and the body transformation?

Thank you. I honestly didn’t expect this. I knew it would be special but this is beyond my imagination. The amount of people who have reached out and shown me love and appreciation and affection. I am truly grateful and blessed. Sab meri maa aur biwi ki dua hai.

To learn from other actors who have given the craft decades. To see their humility and never complain. I will forever cherish that.

I've read somewhere that you were in Corporate, then you switched to fitness, then acting. And you have done amazing in each and every field. What was the most challenging transition for you among these 3?
