Zayed Khan puts on 11 kg in new movie

Gone are the days when a diminutive Salman Khan was shown beating a baddie twice his size. The fights now are among equals.
For the climactic battle in Apoorva Lakhia’s “Mission Istanbul”, the reed-thin Zayed Khan put on 11 kg and weighed 75 kg for the first time in his life.
All because he had to take on the movie’s bad man Niketan Dheer, who was 6 feet 4 inches tall and weighed 86 kg.
Zayed was excited when he was told about the climactic situation and requirement.
“I suddenly had to weigh way beyond what I ever usually did. I had to match this guy because there was a lot at stake for me. ‘Mission Istanbul’ sapped me. This project meant a lot to me,” Zayed said.
