Saturday, 13th June 2015, 1:54 PM IST Sushant Singh Rajput, who will be playing the role of Mahendra Singh Dhoni on screen, has been undergoing intense training since four months to look exactly like Dhoni. The biopic will go on floors on 25th June. The actor has been training in ballet, backflips, cardio and cricket. A video featuring his training has been made titled ‘Till I Get It Right’. It will showcase how the actor transformed from his lean self to a muscular Dhoni. Talking about it, Sushant said, "It's not just a physical transformation but a mental transition too. I am doing things that I never thought I could do. I am also reading a lot of fitness books, watching videos and pushing the envelope everyday." "I have started viewing myself in a completely different light from the cricket-obsessed teenager, Ishaan Bhatt of ‘Kai Po Che!’" he added. Sushant’s fitness trainer, Praveen Nair, revealed that the workout is similar to the one that the actor followed for his debut flick ‘Kai Po Che!’. It includes two hours of cardio in the morning, followed by cricket practice at Dadar Gymkhana and weight training in the evening. He is also undergoing ballet training with Fernando Aguilera and sports drills like viper, ladder, slam ball and TRX in the garden. Almost all of these workout sessions will be recorded in the video, which is divided into four parts. Pravin said, "The first week shows a slightly heavyweight Sushant working towards losing every inch. The second week has him learning ballet. We are yet to film the third and fourth weeks. The video will end with him having flat abs." "In a week-and-a-half, he will look exactly like Dhoni," the trainer added. Further, Sushant will be doing isolation training which will give him muscles like Dhoni. "In the '90s, the hero had to look great in every role he did. But today, you have to stay true to your character," the actor said. Praveen reveals that the actor listens to Dhoni's interviews and watches his videos all night to study his mannerism. "He has even begun to sound like him," Praveen said.
