Srikanth who is now planning to make a comeback in "Nanban" along with Vijay and Jiiva, is looking meaner and fitter than ever before. He has knocked off 7 kilos for his forthcoming "Paagan".

Srikanth has to look very young for the film.  In the film, he plays village youth who makes it big without migrating to the cities.

For a particular scene he has to ride a cycle with Janani Iyer, as they are chased by the villain and his gang.

The  director Mohammad Aslam, wanted to make it look realistic and convincing. Hence to achieve that lean and lanky look, Srikanth worked out vigorously, and followed a strict diet.
