You
will
see
Imran
Khan
as
if
you
have
never
seen
him
before.
After
SRK
in
Om
Shanti
Om,
and
Aamir
Khan
in
Ghajini,
this
bare-chested
Khan
is
sending
temperatures
soaring
with
his
new
lean
body.
Imran
presently
has
just
seven
per
cent
body
fat
-
the
same
as
top
international
athletes.
The
actor
will
be
seen
in
this
new
avatar
in
his
film
I
Hate
Luv
Storys
that
releases
on
July
2.
The
Jaane
Tu...
boy
who
has
always
been
more
'brain'
than
'body'
(that's
changed
for
good
now),
built
the
physique
at
the
behest
of
his
director.
How
I
did
it
Imran
says,
"Karan
had
wanted
a
certain
look
for
the
photo
shoot
and
the
bare
-chested
scene
in
the
film.
We
had
a
break
for
a
month
as
Sonam
was
shooting
for
Aisha.
I
started
working
out
at
that
time.
My
trainer
Yasmin
Karachiwala
and
I
worked
out
a
different
diet
and
exercise
regime
for
those
30
days.
My
diet
consisted
only
of
steamed
veg
and
fish
and
brown
rice.
Three
days
before
the
shoot,
I
cut
salt
intake
in
my
food
as
that
decreases
the
water
content
in
the
body.
A
day
before
the
shoot,
I
completely
stopped
taking
salt.
A
lot
of
actors
do
what
I
did
to
tone
their
body
for
a
film
but
it's
not
healthy.
I
would
work
out
twice
a
day.
In
the
morning,
I
would
do
pilates
while
in
the
evening,
I
would
do
strength
training
and
functional
training.
I
get
bored
of
working
out
in
the
gym
but
I
enjoyed
functional
training
which
is
real
life
workouts
doing
stuff
we
would
do
in
real
life.
After
the
shoot,
I
went
to
Don
Giovanni
in
Juhu
at
night
and
gorged
on
lasagne."
It
took
a
whole
month!
I
Hate
Luv
Storys
director
Punit
Malhotra
says,
"I
wanted
Imran
to
pump
it
up
a
little
more
-
have
a
kind
of
boy-man
look.
He
took
the
whole
month
to
train
for
the
shoot
and
had
regular
workouts
with
his
trainer
and
followed
a
strict
diet.
He
was
feeling
miserable
that
entire
month
but
the
results
are
worth
all
that
pain."
He
adds
that
one
of
the
best
scenes
in
IHLS
has
Imran
in
a
bare-bodied
shot.
"He
has
a
bare-chested
scene
in
the
film
wearing
track
pants
and
he's
looking
very
hot!"
