The recent first look stills of Balakrishna from ‘Ruler’ made people wondering what has happened to the star’s heavy frame.
He looked more like a Rajinikanth in this lean avatar. The sudden change in Balakrishna’s body frame is due to weight loss.
In ‘Ruler’, Balakrishna will appear in a role that has two shades. In a portion of the movie, he looks like a rich guy with Van Dyke beard. There is a flashback episode in which he’s a cop.
He has slimmed down for this cop’s role using special diets. He lost nearly eight kgs of weight in just 45 days. This has affected his face and body frame.
He is losing weight further as director Boyapati’s movie also requires him not to be heavy. Boyapati – Balakrishna’s film is likely to begin in the third week of December.
