Actors lead a very disciplined lifestyle. A lot of actors follow strict diets and workout regimes to stay in shape and keep healthy. There are also times when they take up roles that either require them to put on weight or to lose some. Most times when an actor needs to lose weight for a role, it is a dramatic and extremely tough transition.
Prabhas, the Telugu superstar had to face a rather tricky transformation for his role in his well-to-do and well-known movie Baahubali. The actor was very dedicated and passionate about the movie. Not only did he put a lot of deals on hold for 4 years but he also had to slim down quite a few kilos for the role.
A lot of his fans acknowledge and are in awe of his fitness journey. The story is quite an inspiration to many. According to an India Today report, the actor’s trainer said, “For Prabhas, fitness training is a stress-buster. It is something he genuinely enjoys. So, even if he’d wrap up filming at midnight, and regardless of how intense his action sequences of the day were, we would still train later.”
The trainer explained that it wasn’t a tough feat for the actor. The same report even talks about Prabhas’ workout regime. The report states “Since he had to lose 10 kilos for Saaho, the hour-long cardio sessions would be either swimming, cycling or playing volleyball. Prabhas loves to play the sport, and it’s only a coincidence that I am also a national-level volleyball player. So, we play together.”
There was also a fair amount of weights, dumbbells, and resistance bands. He would pull off around 100 free squats and walking lunges during his one hour of training. His diet and meals were also carefully planned. He was put on a 7 meal diet with high amounts of carbohydrates and proteins. “He had generous portions of rice, bread, egg whites and chicken, and a lot of fats like nuts, as well.”
