"His character in the film required him to shed nearly 10 kg and look stylish. The director wanted him to be leaner and fitter. A stylist was specially flown down from Mumbai to take care of his looks in the film. The team is thrilled with his transformation," a source from the film's unit told IANS.

Also starring Catherine Tresa and Hansika, the film is gearing up for release in April.

"The final leg of shooting will be completed by month-end. In March, we plan to unveil the audio which will be followed by the release in April," the source said.
