Fawad Khan, the action hero

Mumbai: Fawad Khan, the Pakistani heartthrob who had the ladies of Hindustan swooning in Khubsoorat, is all set to take his stardom to another level. Reliable sources say that Fawad is planning to produce an Indo-Pak film that will see him in a completely new avatar, as an action hero.

Fawad, who admits that he likes to change genres and his personality with every film, says he needs to pump up and look beefy for the role of an action hero.

“I think I lost too much weight during Khubsoorat. I am going to put on some serious weight to get into the character for my next film.”

So from the bearded, lean and gaunt royal look, Fawad is looking to go to a clean-shaven, beefed-up action hero’s look.

Says the actor, “I want to play around with my looks. It’s very boring to appear the same in all your films. People are then looking not at the character but at the actor. So yeah, I am really beefing up for an action role.”

Revealing how and why he lost so much weight during Khubsoorat, Fawad says, “It was more by accident than by design. I wasn’t planning to look so lean. Then it suddenly happened. I started taking my gym routine a little too seriously. I started hitting the gym really hard.”

He also had to practise serious diet control. Says Fawad Khan, “I am diabetic. So diet control is a pre-given for me. I had to control all my cravings for food. But now I need to look heftier for my next film.”
