Viji sheds 20 kilos for 'IPC...'

Vijay Raghavendra, whom fans fondly call as Viji, has lost 20 kilos to suit his lawyer role in 'IPC Section 300'. He has changed his hair style for the same film as well.

"I am playing a lawyer for the first time in my career. The role has many dimensions and it demanded this kind of physical appearance. So, I have lost almost 20 kilos for this film in three months. That too without going to any gym or institute," says Viji.

Recently, many actors like Sudeep, Ganesh and Tarun also have shed weight to suit their characters.
