Actor Vicky Kaushal is preparing for one of the biggest physical transformations of his career for his upcoming film Mahavatar. Known for immersing himself in challenging roles, the actor is reportedly set to gain more than 25 kilograms to portray Chiranjeevi Parashurama, a legendary warrior from Hindu mythology.

According to media reports, Vicky will once again collaborate with celebrity fitness coach Tejas Lalwani, who previously helped him prepare for Chhaava.

Training Expected to Begin in September

Reports suggest that Vicky will begin his intensive training programme in September, giving him several months to achieve the physique required before filming is expected to begin in December.

The actor is currently wrapping up work on Love & War, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, which also stars Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt.

A Warrior's Physique for Parashurama

Unlike his previous transformations, Vicky is reportedly expected to build a much more muscular and powerful frame for Mahavatar.

The goal is to develop:

• A broader chest

• Increased muscle mass

• Greater overall strength

• A commanding warrior-like appearance

The transformation is said to be inspired by traditional descriptions of Parashurama found in ancient texts.

Fitness and Nutrition Plan

According to reports, Tejas Lalwani, along with nutritionist Alkesh Sharotri, has designed a comprehensive fitness programme that focuses on training, nutrition, and recovery.

The workout routine is expected to include compound strength exercises such as:

• Squats

• Deadlifts

• Bench presses

• Pull-ups

These exercises help build overall strength and muscle mass while improving functional fitness.

High-Calorie Diet to Support Weight Gain

To achieve the desired physique, Vicky's diet is also expected to undergo significant changes.

Reports indicate that his nutrition plan will include:

• A calorie surplus of around 250–500 calories per day

• High-protein foods

• Nuts and seeds

• Dairy products

• Whole grains

• Balanced meals to support muscle growth and recovery

Adequate hydration and nutrient intake will also play a key role throughout the transformation.

Recovery Will Be Equally Important

Building muscle isn't just about training—it also requires proper recovery.

According to reports, Vicky will aim for:

• Around eight hours of sleep each night

• Structured recovery sessions

• Adequate rest between workouts to support muscle repair and reduce the risk of injury

Not His First Major Transformation

Vicky Kaushal has previously undergone a significant body transformation for Chhaava. Media reports claimed that he increased his body weight substantially to portray Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, earning praise for both his physical preparation and on-screen performance.

For Mahavatar, however, the expected transformation is believed to be even more demanding due to the larger-than-life portrayal of Parashurama.

Final Thoughts

Vicky Kaushal has built a reputation for committing wholeheartedly to physically demanding roles, and Mahavatar appears to be another ambitious challenge. If the reported training and nutrition plan is followed, audiences can expect to see the actor in one of the most dramatic transformations of his career.
