Abhishek Bachchan shedding kilos for SLAM 2014 world tour

Abhishek Bachchan has been rumoured to be on a strict regime to shed the kilos for an upcoming film. However, it has emerged that the actor was challenged by co-star Shah Rukh Khan to lose weight for the world tour promotions of their forthcoming ‘Happy New Year’.

A source told Deccan Chronicle, “It was kind of a dare that he accepted from Shah Rukh on the sets of Happy New Year. This was after several portions of the film were already shot. Shah Rukh told Abhishek that if he lost those extra kilos, he would allow him to go shirtless on the world tour.”

“Ever since he accepted the dare, Abhishek has been very sincere about his training. He has also altered his diet. His co-star Sonu Sood has also given him a lot of inputs regarding his workout regime,” continued the source.

Well, it certainly seems as if Bachchan is taking the regime seriously and that audiences will be in for a treat when the tour commences next month. The actor is believed to have lost 7-9 kilos already.
