Shivacartician on his new diet plan for Parasakthi

According to a report by DTNEXT, Shivacartican revealed that he needed a bulkier frame for his previous characters. However, in Paraskathy, he needed to shed the body as he is playing a period character.

The actor said, “Amarran and Madharsi needed me to sport a bulkier frame, and I hit the gym and tonged my body for those special characters. But I really don’t think I should share my dietary details with you how I flowing those muscles.”

“Okay, to be honest, I only eat vegetables, fruits, and soup, which has become my main meal in a way. You know that I have a sweet tooth. But whatever I am eating is under the total control of it. Also, Parasakthi is a film of a period that occurs in the 60s.
