Inspired By 'Rowdy Rathore' Co-Star Akshay Kumar, Kaajal Vashisht Takes Up Martial Arts

Akshay Kumar, who was last seen in the blockbuster hit Rowdy Rathore is known for being one of the fittest actors in Bollywood and now it seems that his fanaticism for fitness has inspired his 'Rowdy' co-star Kaajal Vashisht, who had played the role of Sonakshi Sinha's friend in the film.

Sources claim that the pretty actress has decided to follow the footsteps of our Khiladi and has signed up for karate classes recently. Kaajal said, "I am a huge fan of Akshay Kumar. He is so fit! He is truly an inspiration to a lot of people, and I am one of them. He told me that his fitness mantra is his regular martial arts practice. So I thought why not join some martial art class."

A remake of South flick Vikramarkudu, the Prabhu Deva directed Rowdy Rathore starred Akki, as he is popularly known, in a double role with Sonakshi Sinha playing the female lead. Incidentally, the makers of the film also revealed sometime back that they are planning to work on a prequel to the movie, which would revolve around the life of ASP Vikram Rathore, one of the two characters played by Kumar.
