Arvind Swami turns fit

Arvind Swami, who was last seen in Mani Ratnam’s Kadal, has been hitting the gym for the past four months to play the role of a social reformer in his next bilingual untitled flick. The movie will be released in Tamil and Hindi, and is directed by Mahesh Manjrekar.

“The film is a period flick. The script demanded a beefed up look, and so I started to work out vigorously,” he says. “I will also be doing two Tamil films this year, and I wish to keep myself fit and healthy from now onwards.” The shooting of the film will start this month.
