Last December, Babil Khan posted a few videos of his Muay Thai training sessions in Thailand. That got us wondering whether it was a new skill the actor was picking up, or his prep for a project. Turns out, it’s the latter. The buzz is that Khan is prepping for an action drama, which is being mounted by a leading studio.

While details are sparse at this point, a source close to the development told us that the shoot is expected to kick off in May. That gives Khan months to physically train for the movie. The source shared, “Babil has been training six days a week. His regimen includes pad work, bag drills, clinch techniques, sparring, and strength conditioning.”
