Anupam Kher credits Akshay Kumar for fitness

Actor Anupam Kher has Akshay Kumar to thank for his fitter frame.

Kher is seen in a slimmer avatar in Naam Shabana.

“Akshay Kumar is extremely humble and doesn’t let people know how much he does things for others. He has a lot to do with my looking fitter and better today. He has prodded me to take up a better lifestyle,” Kher said.

The duo have worked together in 20 films.

Naam Shabana is touted as a spin-off based on Taapsee Pannu’s character in Baby.

The forthcoming movie is grabbing eyeballs for its action-packed promos and the audience is gearing up for a thrilling film based on an undercover agent.

Directed by Shivam Nair, the film will release on March 31 in India.
