R Madhavan sports a lean look for his next

If you’ve been wondering why R Madhavan looks so lean and fit these days, here’s something that will interest every fitness freak, besides his fans.

If sources are to be believed, Madhavan is on a special customised diet preparing for his next Tamil film, Vikram Veda. But the talented actor, who lost 11 kg, is in no mood to reveal his diet, as he prefers it to be a well-kept secret!

A source says, “Madhavan’s new lean look has caught the fancy of many. He has been receiving several compliments from people at a couple of media events that he had attended recently. In fact, praising his lean look at a popular award ceremony, people have told him that he has gone back to his Rehna Hai Tere Dil Mein look.”

For those thinking about the actor sweating out rigorously in the gym, well that’s not the case either.Madhavan explains, “I play an encounter specialist in Vikram Veda and needed a lean look for the same. After Saala Khadoos, I had to lose all the muscles I had gained for my character of a boxing coach. I got trained for one and a half month for Vikram Veda.”

“I’m glad that I’ve managed to achieve this look without any workout and just followed my own secret diet which got me such fantastic result. I do not eat after 6 pm and ensure to keep at least five and half hours gap between two meals,” he adds.    

Madhavan’s performance as a boxing coach in his last release Saala Khadoos and Irudhi Suttru (its Tamil version) was lauded by the audience and critics. Irudhi Suttru was also screened at the prestigious Tokyo International Film Festival last year.
