A complete workout centre has been constructed in Film City for Salman Khan including his own range of fitness equipment as he shoots for Bharat. On his birthday, the Race 3 star had revealed his resolution for the upcoming year was to build a six-pack of abs. Now it looks like he is sticking to his word.
As the last leg of shooting for Bharat takes place in Film City, Salman has moved to Goregaon to be closer to the set. However, the 53 year old icon is not one to let work come in the way of his daily fitness routine. According to a report in Mid-Day, Bharat producers Atul Agnihotri and Nikhil Namit have built a 10,000 square foot gym in Film City itself to satisfy Salman’s workout needs.
“Since Salman did not want to travel to Goregaon from Bandra daily, he moved to a location near the set. He asked for a huge gym to be made on the set itself, with the equipment from his own line, Being Human. It’s a state-of-the-art gym, which has all the latest workout gear hand-picked by Salman. It took a week to construct the gym.”Source
A source also revealed that they newly-constructed gym features equipment from Salman’s recently-launched fitness line. Salman is using the workout centre to achieve a thinner frame for certain scenes in Bharat. In case you didn’t know, the Ali Abbas Zafar-directed film spans 5 decades and features Salman in five different looks. Currently Salman is shooting as the younger version of his character and has to look lean.
Producer Nikhil confirmed the construction of the gym and added that the rest of the cast and crew use it as well. Bharat also stars Katrina Kaif and Disha Patani and will be released on Eid.
