Gettin' jiggy with it: Himesh Reshammiya |
Says a source, "Himesh will have to tone up his body and even learning dancing. Rishi Kapoor danced superbly in Karz, so Himesh will have to get some terrific rhythm as a dancer."

T-Series head honcho Bhushan Kumar admits that Himesh will have to have some dramatic changes to get into the skin of the character. "Himesh will lose about ten kilos with the help of a personal trainer. When Karz was made, Rishi Kapoor was very young. That's precisely why Himesh needs to lose weight," says Kumar.

What about Himesh' trademark cap? A source from T-Series says, "It has still not been decided whether Himesh will wear a cap or not."
We learn that T-Series does not plan to retain the haunting melodies of Karz. "Himesh has started working on something new.
He realises what he's up against. Karz won the Best Music award in 1980, and Om Shanti Om was the first Hindi song to be played at local discos," the source adds.
