After playing a rebellious Sri Lankan leader in his upcoming Telugu-Tamil bilingual Okkadu Migiladu, actor Manchu Manoj will be seen sporting a six-pack ab in his next yet-untitled Telugu project.

"He plays a boxer in the film. He's currently learning MMA (mixed martial arts) in Phuket. Manchu had to gain a lot of weight for action-drama Okkadu Migiladu. He will shed most of it and even sport a six-pack ab for this film," says a source close to Manoj.

Manoj has been sharing videos of his MMA practice sessions on Twitter.
