| |||
Monday, 9th June 2014, 06:00 PM IST Actor Sohail Khan is currently prepping for his next Bollywood project. He is making a return to acting with a biopic on legendary wrestler Gama Pehelwan. Olympic wrestler Sushil Kumar will be lending a helping hand to Sohail for this particular role.
Sohail is currently training under brother Salman Khan, who is also producing the film, to beef up so as to look convincing as a ‘pehelwan’. July onwards Sohail will undergo a three-month training session in wrestling. He has been asked to gain a considerable amount weight and his target is to reach 99 kilos. Director Puneet Issar informed, “Sohail has been working out religiously and doesn't have even an ounce of fat left. The look tests were very convincing. We'll start filming by early November, after he completes his training with Sushil. Other than the action director, Sushil will also help us design the wrestling scenes.” He further added, “Salman is already in talks with some, but it's too early to reveal their names. Our script requires international wrestlers because Gama Pehelwan had defeated quite a few bigwigs in his time.” |
