Actor Ahaan Panday, who became an overnight star with his blockbuster debut, Saiyyara, is set to pump the iron for his upcoming film. The actor will soon be entering a phase of intense physical training clocking 5 hours a day to bulk up, and gain strength. Ahaan, who will be celebrating his birthday next month, will have an action-packed working birthday as he starts action prep for his next film with director Ali Abbas Zafar’s film with Yash Raj Films.
A source close to the development said, “Ahaan will start his training in boxing first and then move on to mixed martial arts and hardcore strength training to bulk up for screen. His training will be for about 5 hours every day. It will be intense but necessary as Ali wants to present him as a young boy who can take down people with sheer brute force”.
