Saif Ali Khan had gained weight for his role of Udaybhan Rathod in Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior but will now have to shed ten kilos to attain a lean physique for his upcoming film Jawani Jaaneman, a leading daily reports. The 48-year-old actor, in order to attain his physique for Jawani Jaaneman, is following a strict workout regime and a proper diet as per the report.

Saif, actually, is supervising his weight loss schedule himself instead of opting for a trainer or a physician. Sources told the daily that Saif has cut off sugar from his diet and reduced the intake of carbohydrates in his meal.

"Saif takes help from a few trusted experts from time to time, but he usually self-trains. He starts shooting for Jawani Jaaneman around mid-June. Since there's little time on hand, he has charted a no-sugar, low-carb meal plan. His breakfast will include oatmeal with skimmed milk, followed by fruits. He will restrict his lunch to a bowl of salad and dinner will consist of a light fillet steak. The diet will be supplemented by an hour-long cardio session, twice a day,” a source was quoted as saying by the daily.

Jawani Jaaneman is Saif’s first home production under the banner of Black Knight Films. The film will be directed by Nitin Kakkar. Saif plays father to Alaia Furniturewalla’s character in the film.

"Before they leave for the 45-day London schedule, the director wants the actors' camaraderie to be fluid since the film centres on the father-daughter relationship,” the source added.

Alaia, who is making her Bollywood debut with Jawani Jaaneman, is Pooja Bedi’s daughter with former husband Farhan Furniturewala.
