Shahid sculpts eight-pack abs for 'Chance Pe Dance'

Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh flaunted six-pack abs, but Shahid Kapoor is doing two better -- he will show off eight-pack abs in his forthcoming film "Chance Pe Dance".

Trainer Abbas Ali said they managed to achieve the new look in a very short time for "Chance Pe Dance", directed by Ken Ghosh.

"Shahid had to look cosmetically presentable. After 'Kaminey' we had only two months in hand to change his complete look. It's Shahid's sheer hard work, dedication and consistency that transformed him from what he used to look a couple of years ago to his present look," Abbas told IANS.

"His body in 'Chance Pe Dance' is better than all his previous films. Shahid told me that dancers are coming from abroad and he wants to look like god and move like god. I had to change the entire training to bring that look along with flexibility and muscle endurance which was required for his dance performance," he said.

Shahid first started working on his body for Vishal Bharadwaj "Kaminey" as he had to run with horses in a scene.

"Shahid didn't have a muscular body. I was training him only for fitness. Shahid didn't want a picture perfect body in 'Kaminey' because the film shows that he comes from street and doesn't workout in high-tech gym," said Abbas.

For "Chance Pe Dance" Shahid needed a sculpted body and practiced five days a week. He also had to work on his diet.

"Shahid is a vegetarian and he doesn't even takes egg so first class protein, which is required to build lean muscle, was not there. White carbohydrate was removed from his diet, like white potatoes and pasta. We added brown carbohydrate like brown rice, sweet potato, oats instead.

"We didn't go for low carbohydrates because if you go for low carbohydrates your performance level goes down in real life. He has to dance so we couldn't go for low carbohydrates."

"Chance Pe Dance", in which Shahid plays a struggling actor opposite Genelia D'Souza, is set for a Jan 15 release.

Shahid and Vishal almost have a fist fight

All is not going well on the sets of Kaminey. If insiders are to be believed Shahid Kapoor and director Vishal Bhardwaj had a heated argument which almost went to blows.

Shahid has been behaving like a superstar in the movie and throwing tantrums too often. Shahid's interference with the promotion did not go down well with Vishal and he took a few digs at the actor.

Vishal has called in Shahid to his office to discuss and settle the issue regarding the film's promotion. An heated argument broke out between the two and both the men started screaming and then grabbed each other's collars.

Bhardwaj's office assistants had to intervene and separate the two men as neither of them was in a mood to back down.

A source in the production crew had said that Shahid is trying to act like as if he were a Shahrukh or a Aamir.

Vishal was upset with him as he he was trying to behave like a perfectionist actor on the sets. The movie starring Priyanka Chopra will have Shahid doing a double role for the first time in his career. The crew members are worried as the ego between the two men might hamper the film's promotion.
