Sanjay Dutt is slowly winning his battle against the bulge. The actor, who was criticized for his lack of physique in Blue and All The Best, has lost 22 kgs. His waistline is down to 32 inches which he admits he last had in his teenage days. He has managed to do this thanks to a special alcohol-free diet recommended by his new trainer Shereveer Vakil. Sanjay admits he was surprised when he started losing weight from the first day of the new diet, even before starting his exercise regime.

Shereveer, who is also the trainer for Ajay Devgn, Kajol and Tabu, however credits the transformation to Sanjay's determination and Maanyata's support. He says he did motivate Sanjay to give up alcohol, but it was Sanjay's self-motivation that did the actual trick. Meanwhile, Sanjay is happy not only with his new physique but with the new clothes he has bought to replace the big old ones.

Sanjay also followed a special diet to get into shape an look fab. "Sanjay went on this special diet in June. It required him to take lots and lots of fattie food and no carbohydrates at all. In fact carbs would've been potentially lethal for this diet. In no time Sanjay started losing weight. And that too without having to give up his favourite food," a source close to Sanjay said. The 50-year-old, who is looking trimmer, plays an assassin out to get his victim with a sniper rifle in Mani Shankar's "Knock Out".
