  The lean actor has to pile on 8 kg by October for his upcoming films
  
  Earlier, by his own admission, he was pretty much jobless for a few months after Mausam and Teri Meri Kahaani. And now that he has several plum projects in hand, Shahid Kapoor is faced with a different kind of dilemma.
  
  The actor was to headline Yash Raj Films' untitled next directed by Maneesh Sharma. However, Maneesh took ill and the film's shooting schedule was pushed ahead, initially to September and more recently to October. With Shahid already having signed three big-ticket films with Ramesh Taurani, Bejoy Nambiar and Prabhudheva; all of them slated to kick-start in October itself, he was left with little choice but to opt out of Maneesh's movie.
  
  The parting was amicable as the makers, Maneesh included, understood the actor had a genuine problem. However, Sasha, who was required to look lean and mean for the YRF film, had put himself through a gruelling exercise and diet regimen and lost a whopping eight kg. In fact a friend of the actor had even told TOI how he had stopped going to the gym completely at the time.
  
  The catch now is that for his three forthcoming films, Sasha needs to achieve exactly the opposite. He has to put on at least 8 kg and develop an 8 pack latest by October beginning to be able to look like the typical hero.
  
  Needless to say, Shahid finds himself in a fix and has hit the gym with a vengeance to try and lose all those kilos he gained the last time round. Well, we wish him luck...
