Hrithik Roshan in a still from Fighter
Actor Hrithik Roshan is currently basking in the success of his recently released film 'Fighter'. For the Siddharth Anand-directorial, Roshan worked hard on building a ripped body as he goes shirtless in the film for multiple scene. The actor who worked hard for months to get the perfect physique was confused when he was done with all body shots for the film. The confusion was on how he should celebrate the completion of body shots. The actor revealed that he resorted to smoking as he couldn't comprehend what to do to celebrate his success but soon stopped.
After the release of the aerial actioner 'Fighter', Hrithik Roshan revealed to Film Companion in an interview that he had to undergo body transformation thrice for the film and it was extremely "difficult". He shared, "I had to do three transformations, one just to check if I still have the ability before the film started, then did another when the film was on the floor, and then they had to cancel the shoot because of the weather conditions where they had to shoot. Then, I went on my summer break with my boys and when I came back I had to do the third transformation in 6-8 weeks. It was incredibly difficult and I had to shoot three songs back to back while I was doing transformation, which meant there was no fuel and I was just running on steam. "
All his hard work paid off and he gave the perfect body shots for Fighter. But Hrithik didn't know how to celebrate after the shots were done. "When the day came and my body shot got done, it got over, I was so happy and relieved. But nothing was filling me up. I had gajar ka halwa, ice cream, I had not planned for the reward, I had only planned to be in this Fighter flight mode and get this done," Hrithik revealed.
He added, "I was like, âWhat do I do? What do I do?'. So, I picked up a cigarette and started smoking. I went into the other deep end and that's a learning in itself because, in one week, my resting heart rate went up from 45 to 75. It's that bad for you. So, I stopped. But it was a disaster. We only plan, schedule and brainstorm about the building, but what happens after the victory? That also needs a plan."
