As
we
all
know,
Manju
Warrier,
the
star
actress
is
a
fitness
enthusiast.
Manju
has
always
stayed
slim
and
fit
for
her
age
and
has
been
a
great
inspiration
for
both
her
contemporaries
and
fans.
But
as
per
the
latest
reports,
the
actress
is
planning
to
say
goodbye
to
her
strict
fitness
regimen
for
a
few
months.
Manju
Warrier
is
planning
to
gain
weight
for
her
role
in
the
upcoming
Kamala
Surayya
biopic
Aami.
In
a
recent
interview,
director
Kamal
confirmed
that
Manju
will
undergo
a
drastic
physical
transformation
for
her
character
in
Aami.
The
director
revealed
that
the
character
demands
the
actress
to
put
on
weight.
Kamal
feels
that
the
role
of
Kamala
Surayya
will
be
extremely
challenging
for
Manju
Warrier,
as
she
has
no
physical
similarities
with
the
veteran
writer.
But,
he
is
confident
that
Manju
can
portray
the
role
perfectly.
Aami
was
initially
offered
to
National
award-winning
Bollywood
actress
Vidya
Balan.
But
the
actress
backed
out
of
the
project
at
the
last
minute
citing
creative
differences,
to
the
much
shock
of
Kamal
and
his
team.
Later,
Tabu
and
Parvathy
Jayaram
were
rumoured
to
be
approached
for
the
project,
but
the
team
finally
roped
in
Manju
Warrier.
Aami
which
will
start
rolling
in
March
will
have
Prithviraj,
Murali
Gopy,
and
Anoop
Menon
in
key
roles.
