Looking right for any character is an important box to tick off in the checklist, for getting into any role. Our handsome and supremely talented, Aditya Roy Kapur left no stone unturned in acing his fitness game and looking perfect as The Night Manager.

Talking about his fitness and look, Aditya Roy Kapoor said, “I had to really work hard on my physique and not look buff- There was obviously a physicality involved and this role demanded it as well. I had to really work hard on my physique to look in shape but not overdo it!  It’s all about the diet and making sure you stay consistent.  eating clean and training hard kind of got tough at one point because there were portions that I had to shoot where we were putting in long hours and trying to keep the body and the diet going along with that shoot was taxing. But it’s all part of the job.
