Prithviraj to shed few kilos for Vimanam Malayalam movie

The first look poster of Prithviraj’s upcoming movie Vimanam was released recently. The movie generated a lot of curiosity among the audience mainly because Prithviraj is again acting as a character inspired from real life.

The actor has earlier given tremendous performances in such movies like Thalapavu, Celluloid and Ennu Ninte Moideen. Vimanam is inspired by the real-life story of Saji M Thomas, a deaf-mute person from Idukki. He became famous after he built a light-weight aircraft all by himself.

Apart from being an inspirational movie, Vimanam will also have an interesting romantic track. The movie will have two different time periods. So Prithviraj will be undergoing body transformation for the two looks in the movie. But it will not be a drastic one because the actor will have to shed few more kilos for director Blessy’s Aadujeevitham.
