Salman Khan's latest body transformation has his fans saying "Bhaijaan is back in form." It is a marked shift from the body-shaming he faced after an appearance in Vancouver, earlier this year.

Reliable sources tell mid-day that Khan has been following a strict fitness routine to achieve the look for his next, Battle of Galwan, in which he plays a soldier.

"He's been doing high-intensity interval training [HIIT] combined with volume sets, focusing on one muscle group per session, six days a week," says a source.

The source adds, "He trains without air conditioning or fans to trigger mild dehydration, and speed up fat and water loss. Each session lasts an hour and includes resistance work along with brisk outdoor cardio."

His diet has also been reworked. It now includes home-cooked meals focused on lean protein, vegetables and just one spoon of rice a day, while completely cutting out processed carbs and alcohol.

"He's completed a look test and photoshoot. Training will intensify further during the Ladakh schedule," the source concludes.
