Prithviraj sheds weight for Vimaanam

Prithviraj’s dedication to his craft is seamless and the actor has proven it again. Apparently, he has shed a few kilos for his next Vimaanam, and a photograph from the sets of Vimaanam shows him looking very lean and  trimmed.

The movie, the first schedule of which has already been finished, is inspired by the real-life story of Saji Thomas, a hearing-impaired man who successfully made a light-weight aircraft. However, there are reports  that the movie is not truly a biopic.

Vimaanam will also show Prithvi’s character in two time periods and hence the extreme looks.

Directed by Pradeep M Nair, Vimaanam also has a lot of sky shots and  Prithviraj had taken flying lessons for the same. The movie is also said to have a strong romantic angle. Besides Prithviraj, Vimaanam also has Nedumudi Venu and Anarkali Marickar in important roles.
