Actor Vinay Pathak is known for many things, his acting, and his comic timing. But definitely not for his slim trim ways. Well, if one catches sight of the actor recently, one will do a double take as the actor is sporting a brand new slim figure. And all of this for a role in a film.

Pathak is believed to have lost more than 25 kgs for his forthcoming film called Straight, which is directed by debutant Parvathi Balagopalan, who is also one of his close friends. Besides doing this film for a good friend of his, the actor is also involved with his own production Dasvidaniya and Saurav Srivastav's O My God. In both films, he plays the central character. In fact, one of the feathers in his cap is that he has bagged a strong role in Aditya Chopra's next, Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. Pathak apparently plays one of the three main characters along with Shah Rukh Khan and newcomer Anushka. Things are really looking up for this very talented actor.
