Arunoday Singh, who impressed one and all with his hefty physique in "Aisha", has been asked to slim down for his role in director Vivek Agnihotri's new film, a yet to be titled political thriller.

The four-film-old, plays a business school student and has been instructed by Agnihotri to go easy on his body building and loose some weight as well.

"Arunoday has everything which I needed for a B-school student except for he looked very sexy and has a great body. But I wanted him to look like a student who spends his time juggling theories rather than weights, " Agnihotri said in a statement.

"I felt sad asking him to lose his muscles which he built in so many years. But I'll compensate by giving him a fantastic character", added the director whose last film was "Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal".

Grandson of veteran Congressman Arjun Singh, Arunoday has featured in four films in last two years - "Sikandar", "Aisha", "Mirch" and "Yeh Saali Zindagi".

Mahie Gill and Anupam Kher will also play prominent roles nn Agnihotri's new film.
