Salman Khan has lost his six pack abs with heavy heart for his forthcoming film Dabangg on brother Arbaaz Khan's request.

Salman Khan, who's back bigger, better than ever in Arbaaz Khan Production's Dabangg, had to lose his bulk to play a lethargic Bihari cop. The film promises to be one of the most entertaining flicks in recent times in true Salman Khan style.

Salman went on a special diet and indulged in his cravings to get rid of his iconic abs. However, the star who is known to not miss even a single workout session learned table tennis so that he didn't have to compromise entirely on his fitness level.

Confirms a source, "Salman had to lose his abs and tone to play the part of Robinhood Pandey. He did have to miss out on a lot of his workouts but did take to table tennis to keep fit".

Dealing with the unlawful practices in UP and Bihar, Dabangg is an amalgamation of reality and inimitable electrifying energy that only one man can bring to the screen –Salman Khan.
