the time due to the COVID-19 lockdown. The actor rigorously trained in Kung fu, Tai chi and how to handle assault weapons for four months.

Aditya also used to train for more than two hours each day with three instructors who were specialised in different martial arts and they would help him with all the stretches and cardio.

'Om: The Battle Within', which went on floors on December 3, stars 'Dil Bechara' star Sanjana Sanghi as the leading lady. The

makers are planning to release the action entertainer in the second half of

2021.
