Actors have to always look fit in the public eye. When it comes to their appearance in a film, too, they are very serious about it. Shahid Kapoor is one actor who has gone a step ahead to ensure that his physical appearance matches his character, in his dad Pankaj Kapur's film Mausam. He will also be performing the sport of Parkour in the film.
Shahid will be flying down his trainer Abbas Ali from Mumbai to Scotland (where he's shooting) for the right training. Abbas is the man behind Shahid's muscular look in Kaminey and Chance Pe Dance. He will be instrumental in preparing the actor's body for action sequences in Mausam as well.
Abbas confirms this development and explains, "Currently Shahid is abroad and preparing himself for the role. For the time being, there is a trainer he has hired there. I am regularly in touch with Shahid and have also mailed him the first set of exercises."
When asked if the focus is again on the six packs, Abbas justifies, "The trend of six packs is over and anyways it is not even required in the film. He plays a fighter pilot and the training will be on the lines of what the NDA (National Defence Academy) guys do. I will be flying in two weeks time (to Scotland)."
He further adds, "Shahid has never been through Parkour training and so I have prepared a set of exercises called Parkour conditioning. This prepares the body to take a fall and makes you more flexible. Weights are the last thing I would be focussing on. He might also do some Parkour moves in the film."
Shahid is paired opposite Sonam Kapoor in the film.
