The actor has urged everyone to show their fitness levels and the best ones will be reposted by him on social media.

The Bottle Cap Challenge is the new viral fad where people try to unscrew the cap of the bottle with a kick without hitting the bottle. The internet is flooded with people trying out the challenge and not just netizens but even Hollywood celebrities have been hit by it.

Superstars such as Jason Statham and John Mayer have tried it and shared it on social media accounts.
