During the shooting of the climax scene of Nesi, produced under the banner of Kannan Kalaikoodam, hero Vikash fainted and was immediately rushed to hospital. Doctors said that he was suffering the side effects of extreme and sudden weight loss. The actor was actually following a strict diet to reduce his weight drastically for the climax scene – he reduced more than 15 kilograms within one month! To achieve this, he had literally starved himself, which has affected his vital organs; now he will require time to recover. He will need to undergo treatment for a few more days.
Galatta.com appreciates this young actor’s extreme dedication and hopes he recovers soon.
Suriya, who lost much weight for Vaaranam Aayiram, could easily have been a victim of extreme dieting, but thankfully, he had the experience of bodybuilding, adequate knowledge in dieting and a good trainer. It is unknown if Vikash took any advice from a physical trainer. Mostly physical trainers do not encourage such drastic and sudden weight reduction.
We appreciate this young actor’s dedication, but with more actors taking up the adventurous paths of method acting, it is necessary that they equip themselves with the scientific details and ramifications of their methods, that they take help from qualified physical trainers. Even if a person wants to improve his physique through weight-lifting, it is important he seeks a physical trainer’s help rather than on his own to avoid dangerous and avoidable physical injuries.
Maybe filmmakers should also pay some attention to this area, especially if their films have newcomers, who are likely to be keen to prove their mettle and talent at any cost and end up harming their health.
We request you, dear readers, not to blindly follow diets or exercise regimens that your stars are reported to follow. What suits them might not suit you. And please take advice from a doctor or well-qualified physical trainer before you take up dieting or any exercise programme.
