Emraan Hashmi’s vigorous routine to get in shape for ‘Azharuddin Biopic’

Actor Emraan Hashmi has been sweating it out too hard to get the required physique for his next film where he plays the ex-Indian skipper Mohammad Azharuddin. The otherwise heavy and beefy Emraan is transforming into a leaner and fitter shape, so to look best in the character.

Emraan has apparently given up on his routine workout and is only working to get an athletic body. A source close to the actor revealed, "Emraan had already been practising with Azharuddin to get the batting style right. In the meantime, he was also shooting for his other film with Vidya Balan and Mohit Suri, for which, he had to put on weight. For the ex-cricketer’s biopic, the actor had to sport a lean frame, so to lose weight, he hit the gym. But what he really needed was an athletic body. So, Emraan gave up on weight training and has taken up running. He runs for about 6 km, twice a day”.

In the sizzling season of so many biopic being planned on sports geniuses, fitting in Azhar’s shoes is something Emraan hopes to catch on cautiously. Directed by Anthony D’Souza, the film also stars Prachi Desai as Azhar’s first wife. While Kareena was in talks to get onboard for a key role, no confirmation has been given by the makers yet.
