A source close to the actor reveals, “After the promotions and release of Bang Bang, Hrithik intends on taking a break, in which he will do the research for his period film. All the young actors today prioritise fitness and take care of their bodies. However, a period drama will require the leading lady to have a more curvy body as opposed to a size zero figure.”

Pooja, who is making her Bollywood debut with this film, will have a personal trainer, but Hrithik will be overlooking her entire regime. The source says, “Post October, Hrithik will put her on a special eight-week, intense workout session. This is the first time he’s assisting a female co-star with something like this.”
