‘Tiger Zinda Hai’ actor Salman Khan performed some awe-inspiring stunts in his latest film. The actor proves age cannot make his physical power and fitness weaken. As even in this age the actor has maintained his body perfectly. The actor told his body is like a diesel engine. "I can't do handstands or put my body upside down. But, apart from that, I can easily pull off quick movements, like forward and back somersault, or floor rolls. My body is like a diesel engine, ek baar garam ho gaya toh chalta rahega.”


"There was a spree of romantic films in my career, and I realised I was getting lethargic. I wanted to be part of films that would take my fitness to the next level. So, whether I need to work out excessively to look hefty, gain weight, or even lose it, I am game. Even though I am aware that this [fluctuation of weight] is harmful for the body, such roles are satisfying."


Salman Khan concluded by saying, "For us, it is the viewers' reactions that matter. We feel overwhelmed with the love that the film has received. The response has been endearing. This is my second film with Ali Abbas Zafar, and I am looking forward to working with him again. Even if we spent money on enhancing the production, the film wouldn't appeal if the plot was weak. We managed to keep the love story alive. That worked."


Stay tuned for more updates.
