And you thought that Pakistani actors didn’t work hard for their roles! Well think again because these days singer-cum-actor Ali Zafar is busy learning kick-boxing and martial arts.

The reason for the rigorous routine is his upcoming film Deosai, which he is also producing. The bilingual film (English and Urdu) is an action-packed thriller and will be shot, according to Ali Z’s promoters, on one of the highest plateaus in Asia. Come to think of it, if that’s the case, he should get some training in mountain climbing as well.
