Sidharth
Malhotra
is
on
a
mission
these
days.
The
well-built
actor
is
working
on
gaining
so
much
weight
that
he
can't
slip
into
his
clothes.
All
this
just
for
his
upcoming
film
-
the
remake
of
American
sports
drama
titled
Warrior.
After
his
recent
successful
film
Ek
Villain,
Sidharth
is
now
tied
up
with
his
next.
"I
am
preparing
for
my
next
which
is
a
remake
of
Warrior.
I
am
required
to
gain
seven
to
eight
kilos
and
learn
martial
arts.
So,
I
need
to
eat
and
train.
I
have
about
five
to
six
weeks
to
gain
weight
and
then
will
shoot," he
told
IANS
in
a
telephonic
interview
from
Mumbai.
The
over
six-foot
actor
is
trying
to
weigh
90
kg.
"I'll
have
lot
of
fun
training
for
it
and
gaining
weight.
My
priority
is
to
make
my
t-shirts
and
clothes
tighter
so
that
I
don't
fit
into
them.
The
character
requires
it.
He
is
a
mixed
martial
arts
fighter,"
said
the
Student
of
the
Year
star.
"There
is
more
heavy
weight
lifting.
I
train
less
and
eat
more.
Calorie
intake
is
higher.
There
is
more
of
protein
in
my
diet.
I
train
on
alternate
days
or
four
times
a
week.
But
I
also
need
to
keep
flexibility
in
mind,"
he
added.
He
is
excited
about
the
Endemol
production
as
he
wanted
to
essay
the
role
of
a
fighter
since
childhood.
"I
wanted
to
play
a
fighter.
Like
every
boy
while
growing
up
wants
to
do
action
and
be
in
the
ring...though
I
am
not
playing
a
wrestler,"
said
the
actor,
who
won't
be
seen
with
a
female
lead
in
the
film.
"I
don't
have
a
female
lead
in
the
movie.
It's
more
about
a
young
fighter.
It's
not
a
love
story
as
such,"
said
Sidharth,
who
has
wowed
the
audience
with
his
on
screen
chemistry
with
actresses
like
Alia
Bhatt
and
Parineeti
Chopra.
As
the
year
ends,
he
will
shape
up
again
for
Vikramaditya
Motwane's
Bhavesh
Joshi.
