The handsome star from south is nowadays toiling on the treadmill to shed the extra kilos for his role in 3 Idiots .
Madhavan is into austere lifestyle these days. He has been following a strict diet and work-out regime in London to acquire a leaner look for director Rajkumar Hirani ’s ‘3 Idiots’, which is based on Chetan Bhagat’s hit novel ‘Five Point Someone’.
Since Madhavan plays a student in the film, he is working hard to look young and lean and is currently staying at Ashford, London. According to him, it’s easier for him at Ashford as there are lots of health clinics there.
Rajkumar Hirani zeroed down on three actors to play three IITian students in the movie. He finalized Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor quite early for the lead roles. Hirani later got Sharman Joshi and Madhavan to play the other two main characters respectively.
So, in order to make these actors look young like the IITians, Hirani wants all the three to sport lean look. Aamir, who had gained extra pounds for his macho look in Ghajini , also need to lose weight. And Sharman is already thin.
The first schedule of ‘3 Idiots’ is over in Ladakh with Aamir and Kareena. The parts with Madhavan and Sharman are not yet scheduled.
Madhavan was quoted as saying that it’s not a matter of looking thin or lean. The point is that they should look like young students from IIT. Right now, he is busy with the shoot of Teen Patti where he shares screen space with Amitabh Bachchan .
