Did Salman Khan inspire Saqib Saleem to go shirtless?

Saqib Saleem has been busy with two projects; Remo D’Souza’s ‘Race 3’ wherein he stars alongside Salman Khan, and Aleya Sen’s ‘Dil Junglee’ which features him as a fitness instructor with a chiseled body. (Also Read: Saqib Saleem’s short film on Father’s Day is way too emotional!)

We won’t lie; fitness expert Sumit Uppal is pretty droolworthy! In fact, Saqib was dying to turn shirtless, which he recently revealed.

“I was dying to go shirtless in the film. Wherever I’d get a chance I’d ask my director Aleya if I could remove my shirt for that particular scene. Yaar itni mehnat kihai to dikhni to chahiye,” he laughed.

We wholeheartedly agree!

The actor underwent gruelling workout routine, in order to achieve the perfect body. We all know that his ‘Race 3’ co-star is a fitness freak and possesses a physique which might put many youngsters to shame. We wonder if Saqib took serious inspirations from him!

While ‘Dil Junglee’ is set to hit theatres on March 9, ‘Race 3’ will release on 15th June.
