How Deepika Padukone is training for Pathan

Deepika Padukone is reuniting with Shah Rukh Khan in the upcoming Pathan. Though officially unannounced, the film resumed production back in June. The action-thriller is being directed by Siddharth Anand and produced by YRF Studios.

According to a source, Deepika will perform some high-octane action in the film and is training for the same.

"Despite juggling multiple film shoots, Deepika doesn’t miss training for Pathan," the source shared. "The workout includes a mix of functional training and Yoga. She dedicates 1.5 hours of her day towards workout for 6 days a week, keeping one day break for rejuvenation. Deepika is also following a strict diet regime, as advised to her."

Back in May, Deepika had tested positive for COVID-19, recovering from which she got on to her film schedules.

"Getting back on sets after a severe bout of COVID-19, took a lot of emotional and physical strength for Deepika. She is still pushing to get her fitness and health completely back, and is fully committed to it," the source adds.

Deepika has wrapped up one schedule of Pathan as well as Shakun Batra's untitled next. Her upcoming line-up includes Nag Ashwin's next with Prabhas, The Intern remake, Mahabharata, '83 and Fighter.
