King Khan has been toning up to go bare-chested in Om Shanti Om
I'm Bringing Sexy Back! Shah Rukh Khan
After Aamir Khan, it's now Shah Rukh Khan's turn to flaunt a six-pack on the big screen. While Aamir will be showing off his bare body in Gajini's remake, SRK will appear as an item boy in a song for Farah Khan's Om Shanti Om, to be shot in August.
Bare minimum
A unit member confirms the developments, saying, "Shah Rukh will be doing an item number in Om Shanti Om bare-chested. He has been growing his hair and building a superfit body for that as it's the last song in the film. He's currently developed 4-pack abs.
Once he gets his 6-pack, he'll start shooting in August. Farah has given him a superb look. It will be a huge set constructed in Film City by Saboo Cyril. The song is called Darde disco, composed by Vishal-Shekhar, and is a rocking dance number."
This will be the first time Shah Rukh will be seen with a completely bare torso. Reveals the source, "SRK had promised Farah three years ago that if he ever went bare-chested for a movie, it would be for her film. This new look that SRK is sporting is for that particular song."
Shahi efforts
Shah Rukh says, "I'm just on holiday. I have not cut my hair and have been working out to strengthen my back. Mine is a boring life — no new car, no new pyaar and no new yaar — just chilling with the babies (his children, Aryan and Suhana)!"
Prashant Sawant, Shah Rukh's personal trainer, talks about the work out regimen given to SRK. "Shah Rukh sports a lean, athletic body in Om Shanti Om. I have given him circuit training exercises, which is a series of combination exercises that give instant results."
Shah Rukh is currently working on getting six-pack abs. "He is doing 500 to 600 sets of abdominal crunches and other exercises to get a six pack. He is also following a strict diet," says Sawant.
SRK's routine
One-hour daily workout around midnight. Prashant goes to Mannat, where he trains Shah Rukh.
"He is taking protein shakes and supplements that support his high intensity workout.
He has totally given up on carbs and that is helping him reduce any flab on his body."
