Mary Kom: How Priyanka Chopra Achieved A Boxer's Body

Priyanka Chopra will be next seen playing the titular role in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's upcoming production venture Mary Kom and the former beauty queen underwent rigorous training for two years to get her look right for the movie. At a recent event, when she was asked how she prepared for the role, she said, ''As a woman it's anyway hard to get muscles as compared to guys, you have to have years of training for that and we had to do it twice over, within a span of two years so going to the gym every day after shooting, we used to shoot almost fifteen hours every day, and then train for three hours was tough. My trainers are great and I want to give a big shout out to them.'' Directed by Omung Kumar, the movie is slated to release on September 5.
