A brand new look for Maddy

The six-pack fitness syndrome gripping Bollywood has reached Chennai. Guess who’s working towards one now? Maddy! Oh, yes, chocolate faced Madhavan. He went all the way to London to work out. Apparently Madhavan, unlike so many stars who take vacations abroad to indulge their palates, puts himself on a strict diet and does a punishing

physical workout with trainers. His idea of a break from work is to go as far away as possible and shed pounds. But now with the six-pack abs fever reaching new heights, Madhavan is said to have worked out even harder. The results? He looks smashing, says everyone who has seen him recently. Even his face has a lean, chiseled look, minus his baby fat.

It’s quite likely that his new image is part of a huge movie project – a Bollywood movie maybe, or could he have a part in the new Mani Ratnam film? Fans will recall that the one time Maddy looked totally in shape was for Mani’s Ayutha Eluthu, playing a violent henchman. Is Maddy getting ready to play a role that requires something close to a six-pack fitness or is the star just keen to stay fit at all times?
