Playing Ab's baby: Shreyas Talpade

Will spoof Dostana star at an awards show alongwith Shreyas Talpade


Sajid Khan and buddy Shreyas Talpade will spoof Dostana at the Screen Awards next month. Sajid will play John while Shreyas will do an Abhishek in the skit. As part of the act, Sajid will strip down and wear nothing but yellow swimming trunks.
 
Looking the part

To prepare for the act, Sajid is getting in shape and plans to lose five kilos in the next 20 days. Even though he won't sport six-pack abs, Sajid will make sure he tones up and shows off his best form. Having already lost oodles of weight (he weighed 105 kgs during the making of Hey Babyy), Sajid (who now weighs 81 kgs) plans to lose more by January 10.

Talking about his workout regimen he says, "Last year, when I did the Saawariya act, I made sure I looked fit. This time, I am raising the bar. I can't become like John in 25 days, but I will make sure that I look fit enough to sport the yellow trunks."

Helping him achieve his feat is his trainer Ravi who has put Sajid on a hardcore diet. "I have stopped having dinner. My intake of food has reduced and I take care of what I eat. Also I've been doing heavy cardio and jogging as a part of my training. I am not trying to become a body builader but look as fit as possible."

Sajid's sister Farah too will company him hosting the award show. Talking about his sis, he says, "It will be crazy having Farah on stage. Her sense of humor and timing is much better than mine. Also with Shreyas, I feel we have a great equation and hope the audience enjoys our act."

The award show will be Sajid's last appearance as a host. His film Housefull goes on floors in April next year. "I am busy with the script of the film. Once I get started with it, I won't be taking on any other work." Looking back at the year, he's happy with the work he's been able to do.

"I have become choosy about the kind of shows offered to me. I am not game for reality shows. I had fun hosting a few award ceremonies and doing Sajid's Superstars, which I enjoyed immensely. It was one of my most cherished dreams to have such a talk show."
