When it comes to action, Abhilash Chaudhary isn’t just throwing punches—he’s putting in the work, the sweat, and the grind to make every sequence in Salman Khan’s Sikandar look effortless yet electrifying. But here’s the real deal—action isn’t just about looking gym-fit. It’s about functional fitness, agility, and sheer endurance, something Abhilash dedicated himself to mastering.
For Sikandar, Abhilash had to level up his action game aggressively. Talking about his prep, he says, “Action is like choreography. Every move has to be precise, seamless and hit the mark every single time. Until the action director is satisfied, we keep going—multiple retakes, zero shortcuts”
To make sure he was physically and mentally invincible, Abhilash followed an intense training routine. His go-to drill? Sprinting. Every single day, he pushed his limits by running 100m sprints—six times in a row “It wasn’t just about muscle strength; it was about explosive energy, endurance, and reaction time. Action scenes demand stamina, agility, and control—sprinting gave me all that. Plus, it built my mental grit. When you push through exhaustion, that’s when you grow stronger” he shares
And here’s where it gets even crazier—monsoon season didn’t slow him down. While most would skip training in heavy rains, Abhilash kept sprinting through the downpour, determined to stay in peak condition.
If there was one person who kept Abhilash motivated through the grueling prep, it was Salman Khan himself. Watching the megastar’s unwavering dedication on set pushed Abhilash to keep going, no matter how tough it got “Salman sir is the epitome of discipline and resilience. He once hurt his ribs during the shoot, but that didn’t stop him. He still showed up every day, performing intense action sequences and even dancing like nothing happened. Seeing that level of commitment made me realize—no excuses, just hard work. It was truly inspiring” Abhilash recalls
Performing high-intensity action sequences comes with risks, but for Abhilash, the goal was to execute stunts with absolute perfection—without injury “Stunts aren’t about brute force. They demand control, flow, and technique. Every movement needs to be precise, calculated, and safe so that it looks raw and real on screen” Abhilash explains
