Here’s why Arvind Swami is working out hard

Recently, Arvind Swami had tweeted, “Been on a gruelling workout and diet, for an episode in #Vanangamudi…” Curious, we reached out to director

Selvaa

to know more about the actor’s regimen for this film.

Speaking to us from

Thoothukudi

, where he’s scouting for locations for the next schedule of the action entertainer, he said, “Arvind Swami is very dedicated and he has been following a strict diet and exercise pattern so that he looks the part in my film. He plays a cop in this, and the story traces certain years of his life, roughly 10, as a police officer, .”

Selvaa revealed that Arvind Swami has several looks in the film. But he added, “But they aren’t the kinds you can achieve by using a wig or prosthetics. When a man ages, his physical appearance changes, too. So, Arvind has to look lean in certain scenes and bulk up for others. The change will be minor, but is very significant and will be distinctly visible to the audience. Before we went on floor with the film, we had discussed the modalities of his role and so, he has been training hard and eating the right kind of food to look convincing as a cop on screen. We will begin shooting for these portions in Thoothukudi and

Madurai

soon.”
