Shah Rukh Khan’s trainer reveals the secret behind his chiseled avatar in Pathaan - “Despite injuries serving as a setback, he came back stronger”

 

In a recent chat with Indian Express, SRK’s trainer Prashant Subhash Sawant shared the lengths the actor went to in order to get in shape for his comeback role. “I have been training Shah Rukh for 24 years; in the last four, we have been working specifically for this film. Though the pandemic hampered the pace and progress, he has been consistent. Since his look in Pathaan is very different, Shah Rukh started doing a lot of lifting heavy.”

 

He added, “Previously, we used to do a lot of circuit training and cardio workouts, but now we have incorporated more strength training — which helped him look better and bigger. It took us two years to build the toned physique you see on screen. His frame and look have completely changed.” Talking about the actor’s diet, which had to be overhauled in order for him to pack on some serious mass, the fitness trainer shared that SRK had to incorporate protein rich diet that included lean meat, egg whites and lentils.

 

“Everything in diet was planned and measured — from carbs, to fat, and protein. Transformations are always about teamwork. Despite injuries serving as a setback, he came back stronger by pulling off deadlifts, pull-ups, and working on his core, and legs. His discipline is commendable,” said Prashant. The 56-year-old actor faced several setbacks on the sets of Pathaan, the worst of it being an injury during the transformation process.

 

Talking about the actor’s immense determination and inimitable discipline, the trainer shared, “It is so amazing to see his transformation, which wouldn’t have been possible without his hard work. By maintaining not just physical strength, but also mental in tough times like the pandemic, he is no less than a fitness icon for everyone.”

 

Pathaan stars Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone and John Abraham. The film is directed by Siddharth Anand and produced by Yash Raj Films. Marking his return to big screen, Pathaan releases during Republic Day weekend in 2023.
