Pawan Kalyan To Lose Abundant Weight To Play Ancient Warrior

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Pawan  Kalyan is  all  set  to return to acting with a  full-on historical costume drama which the  period specialist  Krish  Jagarlamudi will  direct.

 The  film will not  only be the costliest  ever  in Pawan Kalyan’s  career  with an estimated  budget of 150-170  crores rupees,  it would feature Pawan Kalyan  in  a number  of  intricate  fight/action scenes where he will have  to  take off his shirt.

Says a  source, “Pawan  has  not done such slick Avengers/ Marvel styled stunts in his career.It is one thing to  do the  gimmicky action that Telugu cinema specializes in. But for him to  carry off the Thor-Ironman  kind of action Pawan  is  needed to seriously get  into shape.”

 The  actor who took a  longish sabbatical from acting to concentrate  on politics, is not in the best of shape physically.

“It was Krish who suggested that a fitter  Pawan Kalyan would be more agile on screen. Pawan has already started on his weight-loss strategies,” says  the source.
