In a recent interview, Vijay Deverakonda said that he is looking forward to watching the Hindi remake of his breakthrough film, Arjun Reddy (2017). While fans will have to wait till June to see Shahid Kapoor's interpretation of the role, his trainer Samir Jaura recounts the physical prep he underwent to develop two distinct looks for the love story. Since a portion of the film requires him to essay the role of a college student, Kapoor dedicated months in his pursuit of a lean frame.
"It was the first time since Ishq Vishk (2003) that Shahid would be seen as a college goer. So, I put him on a strict 1400-1500 calorie diet a day, along with extensive cardio sessions to achieve a lean look," says Jaura, adding that the diet was decidedly low on protein. "It was a balanced mix of veggies and carbs. Through an intense workout and diet, he lost 14 kilos. By the time the film started, Shahid was looking the part."
