Ali Zafar who will next be seen in Shaad Ali’s ‘Kill Dil’, also starring Ranveer Singh and Parineeti Chopra can’t wait to shed his cute guy image and is spending hours at the gym, looking to build a physique that can pull off some hardcore action.

Ask Ali if he’s a method actor and he is quick to resort, "I can’t categorize myself as a method or spontaneous actor. I perform as per my director’s requirements even if that means doing workshops for a particular role, or even receiving my lines on the very day of the shoot."

The actor luckily says he has no reservations before the camera, "I’m quite relaxed before the camera. I try not to let it intimidate me. Neither do I let insecurity or stress of any kind kick in. Anxiety and creativity don’t go together for me. For me, the fun is in the process. The process is a learning ground. I like to observe and learn. "

Yash Raj Films’ 'Kill Dil' will go on floor in October and the film is slated for a 2014 release.
