Director Puri Jagannath's Hindi movie 'Businessman' has been postponed till next year, giving lead actor Abhishek Bachchan three straight months to get in shape for the role that requires him to have a desirable physique.
While much has been told and written about Abhishek getting into the fitness regime, what is not known is that 'Businessman' would need Abhishek to be in outstanding shape.
'In fact, more than 'Dhoom 3' where all the action sequences would centre on Aamir Khan, it is 'Businessman' where Abhishek would really have to work on his physique. It's the story of a suave agile gangster who treats his work like a proper organized business and gets into the action mode on several occasions,' tells a source.
In fact, it's said that one reason why the movie has been postponed is to let Abhishek build a physique like that of Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu, who plays the title role in the Telugu version of 'Businessman'.
When approached, director Puri Jagannath told, 'We're starting the Telugu version of 'Businessman' in September. It will be shot entirely in Mumbai. The Hindi version of the film starts next year. Beyond that, I wouldn't want to reveal the plans we have for Abhishek.'
In the meantime, Kajal Aggarwal, who made quite an impact in 'Singham', will star opposite Mahesh Babu in the Telugu version.
But, it's said that efforts are on to rope Kajal for the Hindi version of 'Businessman' as well.
Previously, the plan was to cast a new girl from the south opposite Abhishek for the movie which is set in the underworld.
