, is also silently working out for a lean, mean, muscular body for his next film,

, directed by Krishna. The

director reveals that the film will go on floors once Sudeep finishes work on his current project, which could tentatively be in October. “We require Sudeep to have a body that’s not nearly perfect, so we will begin shooting with those portions, while he trains for the fit boxer-like body,” says Krishna. He further adds that the film will see Sudeep play a fighter who excels in all fighting forms, especially boxing and he will be trained in the requisite skills. “A trainer will soon join Sudeep wherever he goes, so that he doesn’t miss out on any training,” adds the cinematographer-director.
