Shanthanu Bhagyaraj sheds 12 kilos for his forthcoming movies

In a recent interview to Galatta.com by our celebrity VJ Ramya, Shanthanu when questioned about his weight-loss which makes him look more smarter and handsome than earlier, he replied "It’s good that you had asked me this! I was looking forward to someone asking me this question since I did dedicate a lot of time and effort to burn a few calories by working out at the gym!!"

He continued, "Actually, I did try losing weight for my role in Kanden but surprisingly it did happen only after the completion of the movie.  I guess this might suit the roles I’m to play in the future. I have lost around 12 kilos of weight". "I should thank Gopi of Power Gym, my physical fitness trainer. He is making me look good and thanks to you for asking!!", he smiled.

Shanthanu also revealed that he was nervous, excited, tensed about the release of debutant director Mukhil's Kanden produced by TCS on behalf of Sri Sivaselvanayagi Amman Movies. Kanden's music is scored by Vijay Ebenezer, another debutant. Kanden is scheduled to hit the screens worldwide on May 20th, 2011.
