When he got this opportunity to reprise the role of Dulquer, he followed a strict workout regimen and diet and lost almost five kilos in three months,” says a source, close the unit. “Even performance-wise he is at ease  in doing light-hearted and emotive scenes and bound to deliver one of the best performance in his career,” he adds. In fact, to focus more on the Malayalam remake, ‘Kotha Janta’ actor even  walked out of a big ticket Tamil film with Surya citing the reason-clash of dates.
