A still from Six Pack Abs.
Pakistani artist, singer-turned-actor Ali Zafar, will feature in upcoming movie
Tere Bin Laden: Dead or Alive in an item number of sorts, titled
Six Pack Abs, which he has written, composed and sung. Ali said the quirky song will make everyone ROFL.
Ali spoke about his strict regime to acquire 'six pack abs' and how he indulged in binge eating after he finished shooting the song: "It was a strict schedule of three months to get into shape. I was off carbs and sugar and worked out twice a day before the shoot commenced. After it got over, I binged on ice cream and
parathas for a month."
Ali added: "I was given the task of composing, writing and singing the song. I had a lot of fun with it. It's like an interesting take on the item number concept and the trend of acquiring abs to ensure a hit song. Everybody who hears it for the first time bursts out laughing."
Ali, 35, who starred as the protagonist in 2010 movie
Tere Bin Laden, revealed why he decided not to be part of the main cast in the sequel: "
Tere Bin Laden and its makers are close to my heart. It was like we made history with not only the first film of our careers, which went on to garner a cult following, but also the fact that it was probably the first venture where a Pakistani actor was cast as the protagonist, paving way for several others. When the sequel came underway, Abhishek and I were excited about it but as an actor I wanted to try something challenging. So he decided to just cast me in this interesting number." (Also Read:
