Hong Kong, Feb 16: Bollywood heartthrob Hrithik Roshan is being trained in martial arts by ``Hero'' action choreographer Tony Ching Siu-Tung in Hong Kong, a newspaper reported today.
Ching, who is choreographing action sequences for the Hindi movie ``Krrish'' starring Roshan, has been coaching his Indian disciple for four to six hours a day, the South China morning post reported.
"I've had so many injuries,'' Roshan told the post. ``Every muscle in my body has been pulled, stretched, hurt.'' Ching praised his pupil as an ``excellent student,'' calling him ``dedicated, focused and hardworking,'' The Post reported.
Roshan said he enjoyed the anonymity of living in Hong Kong. ``Everyone here is busy doing their own thing and so am I,'' he was quoted as saying.
``Krrish,'' due for release in 2006, is the sequel to ``Koi Mil Gaya,'' which tells the story of a mentally challenged boy who befriends an alien.
Ching directed action scenes for several Hong Kong and Hollywood movies, including ``Hero'' and ``House of Flying Daggers.''
