Ajith, who reduced his weight considerably to play an angry youth in Tirupathi, has now put on weight to play the hero in his next film Aalwar.
Rigorous workouts and food habits have helped Ajith add six more kilograms. With his long hair cut and increased weight, Ajith is back to where he left in the likes of Vaali and Mugavari, say sources close to the actor.
Ajith, who plays a ward boy in the movie, will have Asin as his ladylove.
Directed by a debutant Chella, the shooting for Ajith's Aalwar will commence on 1 August at a huge set erected at Ramoji Rao Film City in Hyderabad.
Ajith, who pulled out of Bala's Naan Kadavul, at the last moment, is hopeful of rendering a hit in Aalwar.
Mohan Natarajan is producing the movie.
