Ali Zafar On Romancing The Gym And His Love For Govinda

After losing weight for Chashme Baddoor, Pakistani actor Ali Zafar had to work out hard to get beefy for his upcoming movie Kill Dil. Ali had to put on seven to eight kg for the movie, directed by Shaad Ali.

Explaining his decision to bulk up, Ali said, "I had actually lost a lot of weight for Chashme Baddoor to look like a college student. For Kill Dil, I needed a more mature and more beefy look."

Ali constantly pumped iron in the gym.

"I am now 73 kg. But I want to lose two to three kg and hold my weight steady at 70 kg. Looking too muscular is also not good," he said.

The 34-year-old, who was last seen in the comedy film Total Siyappa, says he thoroughly enjoyed working with Shaad Ali on Kill Dil and doing the buddy-buddy thing with actor Ranveer Singh in the film.

"It was great fun. But it is Govinda that I most enjoyed working with. I've been his fan since I was in college. It was a dream come true to work with him. It is wrong to believe that Govinda excels at comedy only, watch him in Kill Dil and well, get your fill," Ali said.

He has not seen the entire film. But he did see bits and pieces of it, and he's impressed.
