Vikram’s fitness trainer talks about ‘I’
Mumbai-based fitness trainer Alkhas Joseph, who prepared Vikram’s stringent regimens and travelled with him on shooting locations for Shankar’s I, says Vikram’s dedication towards his work is commendable. “Audiences can see him in three different avatars in the film and he has worked extremely hard to achieve these three looks. He was already in good shape but for these characters he was required to work out at the gym for around two hours. He was even required to exercise during shoots,” says Alkhas in an interview.
Interestingly, Alkhas was also the fitness trainer for Suriya in Vaaranam Ayiram, Ayan, Singham, Rakta Charitra and 7aam Arivu. He also worked with Vikram earlier in Vijay’s Thaandavam. And, he is now training Dhanush for his next film.
