SRK learns gymnastics!



Even after being in the industry for 22 long years, Bollywood Badshah Shah Rukh Khan is keen to learn new things, a quality which he has possessed when he started his acting career.

TOI has learned that SRK, who starts shooting a high energy song-and-dance number today for "Ra1", has learned gymnastics to pull off some awe-inspiring steps and stunts in it.

Sources working on the sets confirm that SRK has trained to shoot this number for Anubhav Sinha. The last time the superstar had put in so much effort for a song was during the shooting of Chaiyan Chaiyan for Mani Ratnam's Dil Se in which he grooved with Malaika Arora on a moving train.

The special song for Ra1 will have trapeze artists and many elements from the circus embedded into it. However, SRK is not going to go shirtless, as reported earlier, or flaunt the six pack that he showcased in Om Shanti Om. It is said that 200 firang beauties have been hired just to shoot this song. "SRK will show the world that his injury and persistent back problems are a thing of the past. He has learnt gymnastics for the song and will also do trapeze stunts," said the source.

SRK has been simultaneously working out and doing cardio, weight training and functional training because he wants to carry forward the same fitness and agility for Don 2 whose next schedule will also start in sometime. His physiotherapist, Dr Ali Irani, has been taking care of SRK and the actor is now raring to go in this song. When contacted, Anubhav confirms, "We had specially trained people flown in for the song. SRK will definitely be seen doing a new form of dance which has many elements to it."
