Ameer,
the
director
turned
actor
in
Yogi
says
that
he
has
avoided
non-vegetarian
foods
during
the
shooting
of
his
forth
coming
film
Yogi.
Ameer
makes
his
debut
as
an
actor
in
Yogi.
Basically
he
is
a
thorough
non-vegetarian
but
has
given
up
his
usual
three
course
non-veg
meal
and
survived
instead
on
green
vegetables
and
other
veg
tandoori
items.
"I
had
to
have
to
maintain
my
physique
for
this
film;
I
gave
up
my
desire
to
eat
non-veg
food.
I
also
had
to
visit
the
gym
regularly
and
faced
the
challenge
of
maintaining
the
body," says
Ameer.
He
adds
that
the
action
scenes
in
this
movie
will
be
at
par
with
those
in
Hollywood.
“We
took
51
days
to
shoot
just
two
action
scenes.
I
didn"t
use
dupes
for
the
stunts
and
hence,
got
hurt
twice.
But,
it
doesn"t
matter
because
I
did
all
this
to
give
the
movie
a
realistic
effect."
Devaraj,
one
of
the
senior
film
journalists
is
also
making
his
big
debut
through
this
film.
