Vicky Kaushal is preparing for one of his most demanding physical transformations for the upcoming mythological epic Mahavatar. In the movie, the actor will be said to gain 25 kg to portray Parashurama, the great warrior-sage of ancient times and revered figure in Hindu mythology. The transformation will be much more intense than for Chhaava in terms of the larger-than-life nature of the character he is playing.
Vicky had already gained 25 kg for Chhaava and even increased his weight from 80 kg to 105 kg to play the role. But Mahavatar will need a bigger physique; as the ancient scriptures describe Parashurama as a towering warrior endowed with extraordinary strength, invincibility, and immortality, the actor will try to have a broader frame, wide chest, and muscular build to match the legendary figure on-screen.
A big part of the transformation would probably center around the movie’s action scenes with the parashu, the divine axe that represents Parashurama. Vicky will undergo a lot of strength training and physical conditioning for combat scenes with the iconic weapon as well. The physically demanding role will take months of rigorous workouts, a specialized diet, and long-term preparation before filming starts.
As Vicky Kaushal has proven himself to be dedicated to his work, his roles in Uri: The Surgical Strike, Sardar Udham, Sam Bahadur, and Chhaava have earned widespread acclaim. Now he has the opportunity to play Parashurama, one of the most powerful and revered figures in Indian mythology.
While the makers have not openly confirmed the details of Vicky Kaushal's training regimen or target physique, the reported transformation is a testament to the scale and ambition of Mahavatar. However, if the movie is to be a successful one, then we could see one of the most impressive physical transformations in Indian cinema with Vicky Kaushal as the warrior-sage on-screen through years of intense preparation, focus, discipline, and strong screen presence.
