Shreyas Talpade signs an action thriller

Shreyas Talpade, who is best remembered for his rib-tickling comedy in Rohit Shetty’s blockbuster Golmaal franchise, has signed an action thriller.

The actor will start working on the untitled project right after wrapping up his upcoming film Setters. The untitled film is expected to mount the shooting floor in the second half of the year.


To get into the skin of his character in the film, Shreyas requires a beefy look and hence, he has already started sweating it out at the gym. It would be a complete physical transformation for the actor.

"I am currently on a rigorous weight training regime for my next. I have always believed in doing complete justice to the character I play onscreen and do all it takes to look and feel the part. In order to get into my new look, I am on a strict high protein diet. Since I have an ectomorph body type, it's a huge challenge for me to bulk up but I'm sure I'll be able to pull it off well,” says Shreyas.

The actor is presently seen on the SAB TV show My Name Is Lakhan.
