Having built a six-pack for Ghajini, Aamir now is losing his beef, but going for a lean look. The reason, his trainer says, is that the actor wants to look the part of a 20-something student for his role in 3 Idiots.
So now, having worked for two years to build a body that is the talk of Bollywood, Aamir is going to lose the muscle.
"He’s not playing an action hero in the movie and doesn’t need the body that he has built for Ghajini," sources close to Aamir said. "He plays a fun loving guy who loves his friends more than his parents and he doesn’t need the hard body." Aamir himself says: "I have worked very hard for these abs, all thanks to my trainer, who has become a Jallad for me! You saw me in Taare Zameen Par, when I had only half the body I show in Ghajini, because I didn’t want to reveal it."
Similarly, now that he’s toning down, Aamir feels the new body after Ghajini should be seen during the launch of 3 Idiots. Aamir’s trainer ’Jallad’ Satyajit says "Aamir worked hard for his Ghajini look but now because of film promotions and shootings he is not able to workout that much."
But the star is "on a strict diet to lose those abs and he is looking thinner and seriously looks like a college going boy." Improbable though this may be for someone in his 40s. But Satyajit says: "One thing is sure about Aamir: till you work with him you will not know that he is a real perfectionist."
So SRK should watch out, and so should Sallu, who of late has let himself go, Aamir threatens to go through yet another bodily transformation.
Sharman Joshi and Madhavan also star in 3 Idiots, which is based on the novel Five Point Someone. Opposite Aamir is Kareena Kapoor, who is also focussed on her body.
