Acclaimed actor Akshay Oberoi has begun an intensive training regimen in mixed martial arts (MMA) in preparation for his next highly anticipated action project. This role marks the first time Akshay will engage in a full-fledged action sequence, and according to sources, the actor is thrilled about this new challenge. Known for his dedication to authenticity and his commitment to adapting his physique to meet the demands of his roles, Akshay has previously sported a lean look for his role in "Fighter." Now, he is diving into the rigorous world of MMA to bring realism and intensity to his upcoming performance.Akshay's enthusiasm for fitness extends beyond the screen. "Fitness isn't just about preparing for a role; it's a lifestyle. It keeps me not only in peak physical condition but also mentally sharp. I believe in maintaining a consistent fitness regime to stay ready for any role that comes my way," said Oberoi.

Akshay further added on his MMA training, "I developed an interest in MMA at a young age while growing up in New Jersey. Over time, my passion for it deepened, and I began training seriously, as I thought MMA skills would be an advantage for my acting career. When I moved to Mumbai from New Jersey to pursue acting, I started getting roles but was never cast in an action film, so I eventually stopped training. Recently, though, I was offered an action film role, and I was thrilled to have the chance to reconnect with my passion for MMA. It took some time to get back into the rhythm, but now it’s become a part of my daily routine, and I believe it’s here to stay."
