After being a part of a few popular web shows, Akshay Oberoi will now be seen in the much-awaited Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone starrer. Fighter. He plays the role of an air force pilot in the film directed by Siddharth Anand. Normally, actors take the help of a trainer to get into a certain body type to play such characters. However, Akshay decided to train himself to achieve the body transformation for this character. The trick worked as the actor achieved the desired result after three months of training.
Talking about the same, Akshay said in a statement, “I have been doing extensive fitness before and during the shooting of the film. The idea was to build muscle with intense training, which I personally trained for. The role required me to have the widest frame of my body to look for the role of an air force pilot. I play the role of an air force officer and his physical appearance should compliment the character and hence I took it upon myself to undergo this makeover as it was necessary. I went through rigorous training for months ahead.”
