Suriya's six pack abs

Shahrukh Khan did it for '��Om Shanti Om'��. Now its Suriya's turn to go the way. Suriya is gearing up for the release of his next venture '��Varanam Aayiram'��, directed by Gautham Menon.

One of the requirements of the script where his screen age spans 17 to 65 years, was a well toned physique. Stickler for perfection that he is.

Suriya got into the act and began working out for eight months under the strict supervision of a skilled trainer. The result is a Suriya with lean, muscular body and a six pack.

Suriya says, '��It was the character and the script which inspired me to work towards achieving this lean, muscular look and a six pack. I felt it would lend more credibility to the character I am playing'��.

Suriya cautions,'�� It requires a careful monitoring of diet and exercise by a skilled, professional trainer.'
