Akshay Oberoi who plays the antagonist in his next Fighter talked about how he’s preparing for his role in the Siddharth Anand directorial. Instead of working with a trainer to obtain a fit body worthy of an Air Force pilot, Oberoi is working out himself.
Speaking about his training, Oberoi said, “I have been working out extensively before and during the filming of the movie. The idea was to build up muscles with intense training which I personally trained myself for. The role required me to have broader body frame to look right for the role of an Air Force pilot. I'm playing the role of an air force officer and his physical appearance has to complement the character hence I took it upon myself to undergo this transformation as it was necessary. I went through rigorous training for months ahead."
Fighter stars Hrithik Roshan along with Deepika Padukone, Anil Kapoor, and Karan Grover in prominent. The movie releases on January 25, 2024.
