Prabhas and Rana hit century!!
Prabhas's look in 'Baahubali' has surprised everyone. The lean man from 'Mirchi' has given way to a beefed up Prabhas, who has gone all out to look the part of 'Baahubali'.
According to sources, the heartthrob has gained 20 kilos for the role! For the first time in the history of Tollywood has any hero gained so much for a role. Not only prabhas his on-screen brother and antagonist Rana also put on weight and here is the reason behind their looks.
It's not easy to put on weight and to also keep your muscles toned unless a fitness trainer closely monitors the whole process. Both of them worked with a fitness trainer Lakshman Reddy to tone their body.
Prabhas started his training eight months before the shooting for Baahubali started. 'Putting on weight while keeping muscle tone intact needs a lot of time. I monitored food intake and workouts very closely for both of them,' says Lakshman Reddy.
'It has been two years now and Prabhas' exact weight is 100 kg now,' he added.
'Their daily diet consisted of six to eight meals ' all non-vegetarian. No rice was given at all. Meals were eaten every two hours. The total calorie intake would range between 2000 to 4000 calories a day,' he says.
It is said that for one of the roles in the movie, Prabhas had to appear lean. So he will have to shed the extra weight again in the supervision of the trainer. It takes four to five months to get back to normal shape.
And what would be the right way to reduce weight and muscle after the film is over?
Reddy says, 'The process will be the same but you have to limit the food intake, depending on the person's requirements. It takes four to five months to reduce,' he says.
Lakshman Reddy is the winner of the Mr World 2010 body building championship held in Las Vegas (USA) and has won 13 titles in India and abroad.
