In Delhi Belly, Imran Khan has been looking very lean. However he has to regain the weight that he lost for his uncle’s film.

His another film Luck was on hold due to a railway strike in Nambia. There’s patchwork shooting to be done for Soham Shah’s Luck, and for this he needs to regain the weight he lost for Delhi Belly.

Says the affable young Jaane Tu… star, “For Kidnap I beefed up a lot. Did weights and worked out rigorously. Then for Delhi Belly I needed to get lean. Now I’ll have to get bulky again for the remaining portion of Luck. I’ll have to put on weight. I’ll have to hit the gym very hard. I stopped going to the gym and cut down on my food intake drastically for Delhi Belly.”

Imran Khan finds going to the gym very boring. “I’d rather exercise by living healthy and doing outdoor sports. I like offbeat extreme sports like scuba diving and roller skates. I wouldn’t say I hate the gym. That’s too extreme. But I find it boring. I also find being written about constantly very boring. You know stuff like, ‘I saw this pair of shoes in Paris and I simply had to buy them. ‘I cringe when I see such stuff written. I’d rather talk when I’ve something to talk about.”

On his birthday Imran looks back on the year with much warmth. “2008 was the most exciting year of my life. I look back and say, ‘Wow!’ In six months after Jaane Tu…Ya Jaane Na so much has changed. I feel I’ve grown up by a couple of years. As for Abbas Tyrewala’s next I don’t even know what the story is. I don’t have to be in everything he makes. But we’re still in touch. I was in his house just the other day chilling. In fact the Jaane Tu… gang is very much together even now.”

So far Imran Khan has signed nothing after Delhi Belly. “My primary criteria is the script. The money comes much later. In any case those outrageous multi-film deals between corporate houses and actors are over. At this point I haven’t signed anything because nothing excites me. I will finish Delhi Belly, then complete Luck. That remains unfinished because there was some problem with Sanju Baba’s death. Then we were supposed to shoot the climax in Namibia when a transport-workers’ strike happened. We waited in Namibia for it to be over. Now we’ll go back to Namibia to finish it in February.”
