Naga Shaurya is working extremely hard for the yet-to-be-titled

#NS20

, not just working on his body but also going to the extremes to ensure it stays that way.

It’s a known fact that the usually lean and tall actor had bulked up for his previous film

Aswathama

, which saw him play the role of a protective brother. The actor took care of his

fitness

and diet regime, ensuring he looks the part to the tee. For his next film, the actor had to tone down on the bulk and still look ripped as he plays the part of an

archer

.

The shoot for the Santhossh Jagarlapudi directorial recently resumed and sources state that the actor was so strict about his diet, he didn’t cheat on it even during the lockdown. “He has been sweating it out at the gym every day to maintain the

eight-pack

. The scenes that are being canned now require him to go shirtless and it’s not easy to maintain the body. So, Naga Shaurya has gone to the extent of not even drinking

water

or swallowing

saliva

since the last five days!” states a source close to the actor.

#NS20 sees Ketika Sharma as the female lead. Talking to Hyderabad Times during the lockdown, Naga Shaurya had said, “What’s happening globally is sad but it gave me the time and space required to work out more to look better for this role. I even trained for archery before joining shoot so I get the body language of an archer right. Changing my body and turning it from bulky to lean was comparatively easy because I was determined to do this. I was a national-level tennis player, so essaying a sportsperson is something well within my zone.”
