After his much talked about six-pack abs in ‘Om Shanti Om’, Bollywood Badshsh Shahrukh Khan is again ready to give himself a lean look with eight-pack abs.

The superstar King Khan is doing all this for director/choreographer Farah Khan’s upcoming flick ‘Happy New Year’ in which he plays the character of a person forced to become a dancer.

On this, Farah said, “It is a very physically challenging film for which Shah Rukh will have to work out a lot and his body has to endure a lot. He will pump himself up so that he can get his abs back. We will go for an eight pack this time around.”

The feisty director and mother of three kids disclosed that buffs are in for a treat as Shahrukh flaunting his eight packs.

“Most directors want their heroines to stand under a waterfall but I love to see Shah Rukh taking his shirt off,” she said.

However, given SRK’s yet-not-healed shoulder, the superstar won’t take on the physically gruelling schedule before 5-6 months.

Farah also said that the shooting for the film is scheduled to begin by 2009-end.

She added that after 5-6 months, Shahrukh will also be ready to hit the gym and the scripting of ‘Happy New Year’ would be complete.

“Shah Rukh needs to be physically very fit. He is essaying a very physically challenging role. He needs to get his shoulder thing done and we are very sure that he will be in perfect shape by the end of this year to go through the strenuous exercise regime and hectic shooting schedules,” she also said.

“The film will have all the masala like my movies generally have and much more,” she said.

Let’s wait-n-watch, how Farah and SRK will impress audiences this time.
