Actually he had bulked up for his role in Guru, that expected him to put on 11 kgs and the increased weight wasn’t the inevitability of a married man. Now he’s losing weight to become the stud on-screen again. Nope, my face wasn’t straight when I wrote that.
Abhishek Bachchan says,
“I’ve lost more than half of the weight I had put on. Still working on losing more.
Actually putting on weight was a lot tougher than I thought it would be. I was just eating day-in and day-out. You tend to get fed up of it. It was tough. But it was required for the role and therefore definitely worth it.”
Though I must say, it must be a fun job to have to put on weight…being an actor is like being a sumo wrestler…or Homer Simpson in that one episode when he wanted to get obese to be classified as disabled. Ah, that dude cracks me up. Homer, I mean, not Abhishek.
No wonder Priyanka Chopra plays his bodyguard in Drona…he’s gonna need some protection from the ladies throwing themselves at him. And no, that wasn’t written with a straight face either.

You’ll next see Priyanka Chopra in Love Story 2050 with Harman Baweja, then Drona with Abhishek Bachchan. Then don’t expect to see her for a while because she’ll be too busy improving herself as an actress rather than actually acting.
Priyanka is very happy with her acting life after Krrish and Don, so she gets to pick and choose her movies more, but as yet she hasn’t found one that really makes her want to do it. She wants roles that help her improve as an actress and since she isn’t getting any, she’ll just improve herself by taking dance and self-defense classes.
“Once I finish Harry Baweja’s Love Story 2050 and Drona, I have nothing on the plate. I’d much rather work on myself. I want to do Latin contemporary—salsa, jazz, whatever. That excites me. Any new skill would be an asset for me as an actress.”
After impressing with her martial art skills in Don, Drona will see her doing a whole new kind of fighting.
“This is a totally Indian skill for Drona. It’s a very Indian form of fighting. That’s all I can tell you on record. I’ve a professional trainer who has come down from a certain part of the country.”
Indian fighting? You mean we’ll get to see Priyanka punching away at some dude, she’ll hit him with an enormous “Wham!” and he’ll fly 50 metres away even though her hand didn’t make any contact? I love those scenes! Can’t wait!
