The actor was concerned about Sidhart Malhotra’s health during ‘Brothers’ shoot

MUMBAI: Ek Villain actor Sidharth Malhotra is currently sporting a lean body as part of his look for Kapoor & Sons but when superstar Salman Khan saw his slimmer physique, he got worried about his health.

Asked if he would show Brothers to Salman, Sidharth said, “Salman would pay special attention to our [his and Akshay Kumar] physiques and action sequences as he is fascinated with these aspects. He was providing me pointers as he feels that I’ve become very weak. He is bothered about my health. So obviously I’ll invite him to watch ‘Brothers’.”

He also said that a training video of him and Akshay Kumar from “Brothers would be released soon and he is excited about it. About his look for Kapoor & Sons, Sidharth said: “I’m looking weak because it is the look for my film. In the film, I play a lean and young writer.”

Pakistani actor Fawad Khan, who plays his brother in the film, is also a writer and both are competing with each other. The film directed by Shakun Batra also stars Alia Bhatt and Rishi Kapoor among others.

Sidharth was present at a screening of Salman’s Bajrangi Bhaijaan as due to his hectic shooting schedule for Kapoor & Sons, he couldn’t watch the film at previous screenings.
