In fact, when I got the call for '3 Idiots', I had six-pack abs. From that, I had to drop to a family pack. But now, I can show them off once again." He also adds to say, "This is the first time in my professional career that I have taken up so much work, in terms of the number of films and theatre. On an average, I have done one film in two years. But nowadays, I wake up every morning, and realise I have to go to work."

On career front Sharman Joshi will soon be seen in 'Hate Story 3' this Decamber and also in Vikram Bhatt's supernatural thriller, 1920 London, Excel Entertainment's 3 Stories, The Journalist (an English film) - based on the murder of Graham Staines, and Anees Bazmee`s comedy drama.
