Vivek was last seen in Apoorva Lakhia ’s Shootout At Lokhandwala , he had put on a bit of weight as he had an injury and was unable to work out for quite some time.
However now Lakhia has asked all his actors in ‘Mission Istanbul’ to get a lean look for the film. Hence Vivek has been working out with his trainer Satyajit Chourasia to get six pack abs.
In ‘Mission Istanbul’, Vivek will play a Turkish commando called Rizwan and hence he is preparing for his role extensively.
The film is also action oriented and one of the best Hollywood action guys George Agular has been roped in to do the action stunts.
Also the villain of the film is above 6 feet and very muscular, naturally all the rest of the actors too need to have a strong and muscular look.
Vivek is also taking yoga, weight training and Tai Chi classes as part of his preparation for the role.
Vivek’s trainer Chourasia claims “Now, Vivek's four-pack is already showing; he will acquire six-pack abs in the next couple of months. He works out at the Barbarian gym every day for three and a half hours." Vivek is also following a special diet mainly of proteins and he avoids rice, carbs and sweets.
