Tamannaah to put on excess kilos for Abhinetri

Fans of actress Tamannaah Bhatia are in for a pleasant surprise. While she played roles that demanded her to hit the gym and look slim, her forthcoming female-centric film ‘Abhinetri’ requires her to put on weight. Going into the details, the film’s director AL Vijay, apparently, has asked the Mumbai-actress to gain oodles of weight to fit into her character.

Tammu, who always maintained a slender frame, which she attributes to her meticulous workout regimen, has now decided to pile on kilos for the horror comedy. However, she’s perfected the knack of balancing her weight regimen so much that she is ensuring the transformation doesn’t affect the continuity scenes of her other films.

A source close to the unit reveals, “Tammu was pleased that she’s got an opportunity to gain a few kilos after a long time for a film. And to meet the role prerequisite, the ‘Baahubali’ star has cut short her workout time at the gym and has increased her carbs intake.” ‘Abhinetri’ is Tamannaah’s first tryst with horror comedy. The trilingual drama also features Prabhu Dheva and Sonu Sood.
