Bollywood's dedicated star Shahid Kapoor was committed to star in director Maneesh Sharma's next film with Yash Raj. But as fate would have it, Shahid had to voluntarily walk out of the promising film coz of the fact that the delay in its shoot had disturbed his other commitments.(read news) 

But not many know that he who was hell bent on doing the film had also started his preparations for his role in it. 

Shahid was expected to appear lean in the film, and hence to achieve the desired look he had started a regime to lose weight. And as per the film's requirement Shahid lost 8 kgs for the role. 

However, the decision of he not doing the film anymore was taken just recently, but by now he had already lost a considerable amount of weight. But the catch here is the fact that for his other films he need to pile on the same lost weight once again. 

He will soon start work on his three lined up films with Bejoy Nambiar, Prabhudeva and one more filmmaker. And for all these films, which go on floor in October, he needs to pile in the lost eight kilos yet again. So it's like beginning from the scratch for Shahid. 

Now that's what we call dedication!
