The

trolled
by
the
netizens
mercilessly
for
his
weight,
which
he
gained
for
the
character
he
plays
in
the

But
as

to
be
back
in
shape
before

starts
rolling.
Reportedly,

playing
an
extremely
challenging
role

be
a
rustic
entertainer
that

The
actor
will
portray
the
two
different
phases
of
his
character,
which
is
the
reason
behind
his
weight
gain.
The
project,
which
is
directed
by
newcomer
Liju
Krishna,
will
mark
the
production
debut
of

actress
who
earned
rave
