Shah Rukh Khan’s six packs became a talking point three years ago in Om Shanti Om. And now they are back in the news again with Prashant Sawant, Shah Rukh’s trainer who made this possible, assuring an even bigger surprise in Anubhav Sinha’s superhero flick, Ra.One.
He divulges, “Shah Rukh has a better body than he had during OSO. Shah Rukh gave me the brief that he wanted to look more muscular than the way he did in OSO because in Ra.One he is a superhero. So the body has to be built like that.” A visibly excited Prashant claims, “You have already seen the promos and he has got a very good response for the way his body looks.”
But attaining this body was not an easy task. Prashant recalls, “It took almost six-seven months of workouts to get Shah Rukh into the suit designed for him.”
Prashant gives full credit to Shah Rukh for achieving this look and body to perfect his superhero act. “Shah Rukh is unbelievable, he is very good student. He never asks me ‘Why am I doing this exercise?’ or ‘Why am I supposed to do this?’
Even though he was just out from rehab for his shoulder injury, SRK never complained of any pain,” recalls Prashant.
