Mirror had earlier reported (April 28) that Ayan Mukerji's superhero drama, featuring Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, will kick off in February 2016. Now, we've learnt that RK is going out of his way to ensure that he has a drool-worthy body when he puts on his cape.

A source close to the actor revealed that he has hired the services of a trainer, who goes by the name of Anthony, and who has previously been part of the team that has trained Daniel Craig for Bond movies like Casino Royale and Skyfall.

Says a source close to the development, “Ayan's script requires Ranbir to substantially bulk up but not look beefy. Anthony has been briefed accordingly and he's put RK on a diet which will help him gain muscle mass but not look disproportionately big.“

Ranbir, who has finished Imtiaz Ali's Tamasha, is currently in the midst of filming with his Barfi! director, Anurag Basu. Jagga Jasoos, in which he plays a teenage sleuth, requires him to look lean and lanky. “Anthony has been with him since March and will be travelling with him every where till Ayan's film goes on the floors ealy next year. RK's current exercise regime includes a lot of heavyweights, but they'll be executed systematically as he shoots for Karan Johar's Ae Dil Hai Mushkil through the monsoon,“ the source added.
“He needs to put in at least 10-15 kilos more. The training is already underway,“ the source further said.
