Jiu-Jitsu, boxing: Inside Sharvari's hardcore prep for Alia Bhatt-led 'Alpha'
Sharvari, basking in the success of her recently released Munjya and Maharaj, is currently undergoing a rigorous physical transformation for her role in Yash Raj Films's Alpha. She is being trained by fitness expert Robin Behl to portray a character that embodies strength, allure, and capability. "Sharvari was already in great shape, but for Alpha, we needed to take her fitness to the next level," Behl revealed in an interview with Mid-day.
Behl designed a specialized training regimen for Sharvari
Behl's training regimen for Sharvari is designed to build a strong core, powerful legs, and upper body strength. Per the report, the routine includes a variety of exercises such as bodyweight exercises, handstands, and mobility drills. Boxing has also been incorporated into the regimen to add an edge to her physique and movement. "I wanted Sharvari to experience the grappling, clinching, and take-downs firsthand," Behl explained.
Sharvari embraces athlete mindset, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training
In addition to physical training, Behl aimed to instill in Sharvari the mindset of an athlete. To achieve this, he introduced her to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under the guidance of Carl Varel, Asia's number-six expert in the sport. "She was a relentless student," Behl said admiringly. "I often found myself struggling to keep up with her energy levels. She was always eager to push her limits and try new things."
Sharvari's intensive training yields impressive results
The results of Sharvari's intensive training are clearly visible in her physique. She has successfully shed nine percent body fat in just five months while simultaneously gaining muscle mass and definition. While preparing for Alpha, directed by Shiv Rawail, Sharvari is also gearing up for the release of another film, Vedaa, directed by Nikkhil Advani. Also featuring John Abraham, Vedaa is set to compete with Khel Khel Mein and Stree 2 at the box office on August 15.
