Bellamkonda Srinu bulks up

Director Boyapati Srinu’s penchant to give an image makeover to all his heroes from his directorial debut ‘Bhadra’ to the recent ‘Sarrainodu’ is evident. His is following suit for Bellamkonda Srinivas, the hero of his forthcoming film. The makers have released the first look of the actor to coincide with this birthday (January 3).

“Srinu has worked on his body vigorously, and spent over six months training for nearly two hours a day to get the desired muscular makeover. The actor has bulked out a bit and he puts that to a strict diet regimen. Also, Srinu is trying to up the style stakes and will be seen as a college-goer who happens to be a millionaire.

His style for the role is edgy and the stylish makeover will make the actor look tailor-made for the intense role. And not to mention, the director’s trademark high octane action sequences,” says producer Miryala Ravinder Reddy. The film, which also features Pragya Jaiswal, is done with 20% of the shooting. A peppy number is being canned on the principal cast.
