Move over, all you Khans, Kumars and Roshans. Bollywood has a new lean mean fighting machine. And his name, ladies and gentlemen, is Ranbir Kapoor…

The latest bad boy to get high on the gym-induced endorphins is none other than apna chocolate boy hero Ranbir Kapoor. Ranbir, who has always maintained a rather lean look, will now be seriously pumped.

Reportedly, Ranbir is gearing up to get tougher for his role in Anurag Kashyap’s upcoming film, Bombay Velvet. As is widely known, Ranbir plays the role of a tough-as-nails street fighter in the Anurag Kashyap directorial. Naturally, the part required him to put on some muscle to look believable.

And so began his journey at the gym. As per sources, Ranbir Kapoor has been training hard to transform his body.

Said Ranbir’s trainer, Ashwinder Singh, “We are working out twice a day doing a mix of strength and conditioning. We are also doing a lot of martial art training and kickboxing. We changed up his diet to put on lean mass and pushed him beyond his limits.”

The first shooting schedule of the film, which took place in Sri Lanka, is completed. The second schedule begins in January, 2014. The film also has a surprise cameo by none other than Karan Johar.
