Watch Priyanka Chopra kick ass in Mary Kom trailer

Priyanka Chopra's trailer of Mary Kom went live on YouTube today and we must say we've been blown away. The last time we were so excited about a biopic was when Bhaag Milkha Bhaag went live and had Farhan Akhtar training in the rain while showing off his six-pack abs. PC does something similar for Mary Kom. The biopic seems to cover her entire life's journey, from her trials and travails to be taken seriously as a boxer to making a comeback post-marriage.

There are some awesome training montages as well as we see her lifting, running, boxing and other shots of which are reminiscent of Sylvester Stallone training for Rocky. The movie which has been directed by set designer Omung Kumar and produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali looks all set to kick ass.

Check out excerpts from our interview with Priyanka Chopra's trainer Samir Jaura, who incidentally also trained Farhan Akhtar for Bhaag Milkha Bhaag:

Priyanka plays a boxer and from the looks of the poster and trailer, you have managed to create the right physique for her. How long did it take for you to train Priyanka for playing Mary Kom?

SJ: My brief was not to make her look too bulky as in India people get put off by it. I wanted to retain her femininity but at the same time make her look like a boxer too. The right balance was essential.

The prep lasted for about four-and-a-half months before she started shooting for the film. I was travelling with her throughout this time as the training could not have any breaks, it had to be consistent.

Priyanka has confessed that she does not like working out and she hardly goes to the gym as she does not put on weight. How did she cope up with your training?

SJ: Yes, Priyanka is surely not a gym rat. Before we started, she had done a bit of cardio exercises but not really trained. So my training was a total shock to her body. But she was a thorough professional. While we were training, she lost her father who she was very attached to and we all thought that things will come to a halt but she was back to the grind within a few days which is commendable.
