Vicky Kaushal to Gain Over 25kg for 'Mahavatar'

Vicky Kaushal is reportedly undergoing a dramatic physical transformation for his upcoming mythological film, 'Mahavatar'. He is slated to gain over 25 kilograms to portray the legendary warrior sage Parashurama.

The actor will work with fitness coach Tejas Lalwani, who previously helped him prepare for 'Chhaava' (2025). Kaushal's training is scheduled to begin in September, with filming expected to commence in December.

Kaushal's transformation for 'Mahavatar' is anticipated to be even more demanding than his previous role, where he gained weight from 80 kg to 105 kg. The goal is to visually represent Parashurama's towering, invincible, and immortal image.

Preparation will center on intensive training, nutrition, and recovery. This includes compound exercises, a diet with increased calorie intake, and ensuring eight hours of sleep nightly for muscle repair.
