Ranbir
Kapoor
seems
to
have
found
a
new
friend
at
work.
The
actor
was
training
himself
to
be
a
street
fighter
for
Bombay
Velvet
with
Ashwinder
Singh
and
instantly
hit
it
off
with
him.
Ranbir
had
to
learn
different
forms
like
Mix
Martial
arts
and
Thai
Kick
Boxing
to
get
the
nuances
of
street
fighting
correct.
Ranbir
Kapoor
also
had
to
undergo
a
different
kind
of
work
out
where
he
had
to
concentrate
on
toning
his
muscles
rather
than
beefing
up
which
was
the
demand
for
Bombay
Velvet.
Ranbir
trained
himself
with
Ashwinder
for
nearly
6
months
prior
to
build
muscle
and
get
the
craft
right.
Both
of
them
enjoyed
the
training
sessions
and
even
after
rehearsals
the
two
continued
to
hang
out
together.
Ranbir
and
his
trainer
friend
used
to
practice
for
a
couple
of
hours
every
day
in
Mumbai
(at
the
venue
where
the
fighters
of
Super
fight
League
used
to
practice)
and
then
continued
to
keep
at
it
through
out
the
shooting
of
Bombay
Velvet.
Ashwinder
is
originally
from
Kenya
and
personally
is
quite
knowledgeable
about
different
fight
forms.
He
is
a
master
in
street
fighting
and
has
been
trained
in
Muay
Thai.
Ranbir
used
to
talk
to
him
about
the
correct
diet
and
about
work
outs.
Ranbir
Kapoor
is
usually
by
himself
on
sets
or
in
his
vanity,
however,
the
Kapoor
lad
this
time
around
used
to
talk
to
Ashwinder
on
sets
and
the
two
used
to
discuss
his
scenes
and
everything
else.
One
source
shares,
"Ashwinder
and
Ranbir
met
during
preparation
for
the
film
but
yet
continue
to
be
in
touch.
They
discuss
films,
work,
health,
fitness
and
share
a
good
rapport."
Ashwinder
is
also
playing
a
small
role
in
the
film
as
a
Japense
street
fighter
and
even
though
the
shooting
is
long
over
now,
Ranbir
and
Ashwinder
keep
in
touch.
