Having made a career out of comic roles, Govinda now wants to switch to action. He is really working hard on his physique and has got himself a martial arts and physical trainer. "I've done action films in the past like 'Hatya' and 'Shola Aur Shabnam'. But they weren't full-on action movies. I now want to do an action film with stunts of an international caliber. I don't want to just plunge into it without being fully prepared. I've already lost a lot of weight. But it isn't enough. I want to lose some more," says Govinda. The actor recently discovered yoga and he says it has changed his life completely.

He says, "No matter what my schedule is like, I have to do yoga every morning. It's not about just losing weight. I lost a lot of weight earlier this year when I was shooting in Bangkok with Suniel Shetty for 'Loot'. Yoga is about self-discipline and about toning the body. I feel I have lost inches around my waist. I feel fitter. I can get into tight clothes without squirming." So what is his fitness target? "I want to look as healthy, handsome and fit as Dharamji (Dharmendra) in his heydays. He has always been my role model. And now when I look at myself in the mirror, I see glimpses of him in me. That makes me feel really good," says the actor.
