Hrithik–Tiger Face-Off Pushed To October

Hrithik Needs To Get Back In  Shape

Flab may be fab when you are playing a gym-liberated Bihari mathematician. But when you have to face  one of  the  fittest young actors  of Bollywood, you  need  to get back into shape.

This,  Hrithik Roshan realized while putting on kilos to play mathematician Anand Kumar  in  the  bio-pic  Super 3. Having  got  into character, Hrithik now needs some time to shed the weight and become as fine  fit and sinewy as…well, Hrithik Roshan.

 The actor will take  a break to get into fighting-fit shape after he completes Super 30 this month.

Says a  source close  to the development, “Hrithik needs at least a couple  of months to get back into shape for his film with Tiger. The  film has been pushed to October to give him time. This  film will see him get into hand-to-hand  combats with Tiger.”

Says Tiger enthusiastically, “Hrithik Sir is my idol and role-model. To share  the screen with him  is a dream-come-true for me. I can’t wait for the  film to start. We’ve a  lot  of fights together on screen.And I wonder how I will manage them  because I am his greatest fan, and I can’t see  myself  confronting  him physically. I  will have  to make myself strong  from within to be able to  take on my childhood idol.”

The film  to be directed by Siddharth Anand(who directed Hrithik in Bang Bang) and produced  by Yash Raj Films will open on October 2, 2019.
