Mani
Ratnam's
Guru
was
a
career
defining
film
for
Abhishek
Bachchan.
Though
his
first
hit
was
Dhoom,
it
was
Guru
which
brought
him
universal
accolades
as
an
accomplished
actor
and
was
also
his
first
solo
hit.
It
was
for
his
character
in
Guru
that
Abhishek
had
to
put
on
a
lot
of
weight
and
then
he
had
to
keep
some
of
it
for
Ram
Gopal
Varma's
Sarkar
Raj,
where
he
had
to
look
slightly
heavier
set.
But
that
was
the
past
and
now
Abhishek
is
looking
trim
and
fit.
People
seeing
Abhishek
on
the
sets
of
Mani
Ratnam's
Raavan
were
pleasantly
surprised
to
him
back
in
shipshape.
Abhishek
says
jokingly
that
while
everyone
was
working
on
a
six–pack
ab,
he
was
working
on
one
pack!
On
a
serious
note,
he
adds
that
he
has
worked
hard
to
get
back
in
shape
as
it
was
really
very
difficult
to
shed
14
kgs.,
which
he
had
acquired
during
the
shooting
of
Guru
and
had
to
stick
to
till
Sarkar
Raj.
And
is
very
happy
to
be
back
to
his
original
weight
from
Bunty
Aur
Babli
days.
Well,
that
is
certainly
good
news
for
the
fans
of
Abhishek
Bachchan,
and
for
that
they
have
to
thank
John
Abraham
and
his
trainer
who
were
instrumental
in
inspiring
Abhishek
to
follow
the
fitness
program
devised
to
get
the
Dostana
hot
bod
for
John.
Here's
a
cheer
to
their
friendship!
