Bollywood actress Sharvari Wagh has stepped into the high-octane world of Yash Raj Films' Spy Universe. Cast alongside Alia Bhatt in the upcoming film, Alpha, Wagh is undergoing a rigorous physical transformation under the expert guidance of fitness trainer Robin Behl.

The brief for Wagh's character was clear: strong, sexy, and capable. However, Behl was quick to dispel the myth that strength equates to masculinity. “Sharvari was already in great shape, but for Alpha, we needed to take her fitness to the next level,” he explained it to Mid-day in an interview. “The challenge was to build strength without compromising her femininity or the fluidity of her movements.”

The training regimen was a meticulous blend of strength, endurance, and agility. "We focused on building a strong core, powerful legs, and upper body strength," said Behl. "But it wasn't just about lifting weights. We incorporated a lot of bodyweight exercises, handstands, and mobility drills to ensure her movements were graceful and dynamic." To add an edge to her physique and movement, boxing was introduced into the routine.

Behl also aimed to instil in Wagh the mindset of an athlete. To achieve this, he introduced her to the world of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under the tutelage of Carl Varel, Asia's number-six expert in the sport. “I wanted Sharvari to experience the grappling, clinching, and take-downs firsthand,” Behl explained. “This would help her understand how athletes move and react, which is crucial for action sequences.”

The training was gruelling, but Wagh's determination was unwavering. “She was a relentless student,” Behl said admiringly. “I often found myself struggling to keep up with her energy levels. She was always eager to push her limits and try new things.”

The results of this intensive training are evident in Wagh's physique. She has shed nine-percent body fat in just five months while gaining muscle mass and definition.

Alpha is directed by Shiv Rawail, who last helmed The Railway Men. Meanwhile, Wagh is also gearing up for the release of her other film, Vedaa, directed by Nikkhil Advani. The film is slated for a clash with Khel Khel Mein and Stree 2 on August 15.

Bombay High Court orders stays the release of Hamare Baarah, two days before the film’s release June 07, 2024 at 01:02PM

By Banglore Film City
Hamare Baarah, which is making news for its bold approach and thought-provoking plotline, has been mired in controversy, with the makers landing in deep trouble. The highly anticipated release of Annu Kapoor, Manoj Joshi, and Paritosh Tripathi starrer, has encountered a significant setback as the Bombay High Court has issued a stay on its release just two days before its scheduled release on June 7, extending the hold until June 14. This unexpected turn of events has impacted the premiere of the film which was expected to be held this week, leaving makers in an uncertain dilemma. The legal obstacle arises from a petition filed by activists from a specific religious community at the Mumbai High Court, opposing the film's release. Producers Birender Bhagat and Ravi S Gupta have raised serious concerns regarding the imposition of the stay, especially given that the film had already obtained a censor certificate. In a recent statement given to NDTV, Mr Bhagat explained their predicame...
