Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff and two of the biggest action stars in Bollywood so naturally, people went gaga when they saw the teaser of 'War' which put the two in headlocks with each other. But while everyone was swooning over the actors, what really also left everyone impressed was the film’s heroine Vaani Kapoor who grabbed eyeballs with her smoking hot body and fitness levels. Celebrity trainer Yasmin Karachiwala opened up about how the actress put in 10 weeks of rigorous training to get in perfect shape for the film.

“I think it's fair to say that anyone who wants to achieve a bikini body and look good on screen has to be extremely dedicated to their workout and to themselves and Vaani was very, very dedicated. She worked out every single day, for 10 weeks. Her level of commitment was tremendous and I think it shows in the look that she has in War,” says Yasmin, who is one of the top celebrity fitness trainers of the country.

“Vaani's workouts consisted of pilates and the gym and then cardio. In pilates, I devised different programs, which was circuit training in pilates, functional training in pilates. I made 20:20:20 workout, where she worked out for 20 min of leg, 20 min of abdominals, 20 mins on the upper body. We also worked on different machines: the reformer, the Cadillac, the Bodhi, the Chair, the Motor, mat exercises, the CoreAlign. We also did a beach body circuit in pilates,” Yasmin reveals.

She added, “In the gym, she either did heavy weight training, which was body part training and functional training on other days. I tried to mix it up with TRX, Bodhi, power pilate, medicine balls, swiss balls. We tried to work on the skill mill, the tread climber, the treadmill, the elliptical for cardiovascular training and even on the adrenaline bike. Basically, her workout was different every single day because we never allowed the body to anticipate what she was going to do and I kept changing her workout and I think that worked best on her body and that's how she derived the bikini body!”

All action lovers are going to be in for a treat with 'War'. Touted as the biggest action entertainer of the year, this Yash Raj Films’ high-octane production is set to release in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu on the big National Holiday of Gandhi Jayanti, October 2.
