Madhavan goes lean, loses 11 kilos

He bulked up to play a boxing coach for Saala Khadoos last year. But now, he has shed all those kilos and is looking lean and fit these days, say sources. In fact, a customised diet meant Madhavan is now 11 kilos lighter for his role as an encounter specialist in his next film.

A source told a newspaper, “Madhavan has been receiving several compliments from people at events about his lean physique. In fact, at a recent award ceremony, people even told him that he seems to resemble his Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein (2001) look.”

Madhavan explained to the paper, “After Saala Khadoos, I had to lose all the weight I had gained for my character of a boxing coach. I’m glad that I’ve managed to achieve this look without working out and just following my own secret diet, which got me such fantastic results. I do not eat after 6 pm and ensure to keep at least a five-and-half-hour gap between meals.”
