Allu slims down for next flick
Actor Allu Arjun has hit the gym to shed about 10 kg for his role in filmmaker Trivikram Srinivas's yet-untitled Telugu film, which is expected to go on floors soon.

“Arjun has been asked to shed about 10 kg for the role. He had to lose weight because he had bulked up for Rudhramadevi. Arjun has already started working out,” a source close to Arjun said. Also starring Adah Sharma and two more heroines who are yet to be cast, the film will mark Arjun's second collaboration with Srinivas after Telugu blockbuster Julayi.

Meanwhile, the shoot of Rudhramadevi is progressing. Directed by Gunasekhar, actress Anushka Shetty is essaying the role of Rudramadevi in the film, which is slated for release in 2015.

The film, which is also produced by Gunasekhar, features an ensemble cast of Rana Daggubati, Krishnam Raju, Prakash Raj, Baba Sehegal, Aditya Menon, Nithya Menen, Aditi Chengappa and Catherine Tresa and Hamsa Nandini.
