By INDIATIMES MOVIES

Hrithik Roshan who is known for his supremely fit body has taken to smoking big time. But they say there is no smoke without fire. So how did the health conscious Hrithik take to the unhealthy trait? Well it’s all for his next film Guzaarish . 

“I have started smoking for my character of a paralyzed man that I play in my next film Guzaarish ”, says Hrithik. Sanjay Leela Bhansali who is the director of Guzaarish insists on having his actors get inside their characters to perfection. He made Hrithik look less muscular and also made him sport some weight around his midriff. Further he wanted Hrithik to smoke for his character in Guzaarish . 

However cigarettes won’t be Hrithik’s companion for long. “I will stop smoking on May 21”, says Hrithik firmly asserting that it was plainly for professional reasons. May 21 is when his big film Kites will hit the theatres. 

After Guzaarish his next film Running with the Bulls directed by Zoya Akhtar, too, demands he put on five kilos. But this time he has to accumulate the weight in terms of muscle mass. So Hrithik is determined to look fit and his sheer willpower will see him through punishing workouts and diet. The actor is presently going through hardcore gym training for three hours every day in his new gym on the terrace of his Juhu residence.
