Sidharth Malhotra has been gaining weight for his
upcoming film Warriors directed by Karan Malhotra. We learnt
that the versatile actor has been on a protein diet eating in regular intervals
of 2-3 hours a day, pumping iron and learning mixed martial arts.
A source
told , “He has been following this regime for the last two months odd. It
started during the promotions of Ek Villain and got stringent week after week.”
Sid has also
been undergoing look tests, what with having sittings with fashion stylists and
hair experts to get his look perfected.
The source
added further, “Sidharth will be seen as a wrestler in the film and hence had
to ensure he looks his part. It’s going to be a very different avatar
compared to his previous outings where he was seen as a college student in Student
of the Year, the boy next door in Hasee Toh Phasee and a baddie in Ek
Villain.”
Sidharth has
managed to put on weight and muscle and his look has changed drastically.
Shirts from his wardrobe no longer fit him and he has also zeroed on a
particular hair do.
His director
Karan Malhotra is keen to keep his looks under wraps. Apparently, he does not
want audiences to see much of Sidharth so that they come and discover him in
the film. Hence Sidharth has withdrawn grim public appearances and outings
where he can be spotted.
