Prabhas shedding weight for his next?

Action star Prabhas, who has crossed more than 130 kg for ‘Bahubali 2,’ later, reduced it for his next film ‘Sahoo’ and now reportedly working out to reduce his weight further for his upcoming period saga with director Radha Krishan of ‘Jill’ fame. “Prabhas is on a strict diet and workout regimen to reduce his weight to below 90 kg to fit into the role of his period drama. He is aiming for the lean and mean look since the film is set in the 1930s. The film is expected to go on the sets from August and Prabhas is toiling hard with a trainer,” says a source, close to the unit. 

Actually, Prabhas pushed his weight from 120 kg to 150 kg for ‘Bahubali 2’ two years ago to breathe life into the larger-than-life role of a warrior in the epic-fantasy and expanded his fan base pan-India. “Although, Prabhas has been a fitness freak and had a  muscled look even for ‘Mirchi,’ yet,  for ‘Bahubali’ he went in for a complete makeover and pumped iron and ate a goat almost every day for the beefed-up loom. Later, for ‘Sahoo,’ he reduced his weight and is now looking for aiming for that lean and mean look to enthrall his fans,” he source adds. 

Meanwhile, the actor was in Abu Dhabi facing the desert sun for a 20-day non-stop shoot for his upcoming film 'Sahoo'. The tri-lingual film is supposed to be shot in various locations and a major part of the film is being shot at Abu Dhabi. The star actor has apparently smashed 37 cars and five trucks while shooting an action sequence in the film. Hollywood stunt master Kenny Bates is doing the choreography for the action sequences. The Dubai action scene is expected to be the highlight of the film. Directed by filmmaker Sujeeth, the film has Shraddha Kapoor playing Prabhas' love interest in the film.
