Akshay spoke about his role in Fighter saying, “I have been working out extensively before and during the filming of the movie. The idea was to build up muscles with intense training which I personally trained myself for. The role required me to have a broader body frame to look right for the role of an Air Force pilot. I’m playing the role of an air force officer and his physical appearance has to complement the character hence I took it upon myself to undergo this transformation as it was a necessity. I went through rigorous training for months ahead. I did strength training with intervals of cardio and gained 10kg of muscle.”
