It's Akkineni hero's turn to gain weight!

Prabhas and Rana did it for ‘Baahubali’, and Anushka did it for ‘Zero Size’. Gaining weight for the roles they are essaying and then losing weight have become common in Telugu Film Industry as the actors are more open to experimenting with their look to suit the chracters they are playing.

Now Naga Chaitanya is also doing the same for his upcoming movie ‘Majnu’, remake of Malayalam movie ‘Premam’. He has gained weight to play the middle aged man phase in the film and then he will have to lose weight to shoot for the teenager phase in the film.

Chai will be seen sporting three different looks, namely a teenager, a college student and a middle aged man. Obviously, he needs to put on weight to look a middle aged and lose weight for looking a teenager. For a college student look, his original look is anyway perfect.

Shruti Haasan and Anupama Parameshwaran are playing female leads alongside Chai in Majnu. The shooting has commenced but the third female lead is yet to be confirmed.
