If there is one actor who seems to be ageing like a fine wine, it has to be Thalapathy Vijay. The actor is pushing 50 but still manages to look like he is in his 30s. Thalapathy's mother Shoba Chandrasekhar recently revealed his fitness secret to a YouTube channel and said that the credit goes to dosas. "He eats two dosas in the morning and evening. He has strict control over his diet and hits the gym. That's all!"
Thalapathy's love for dosas is well known and he loves making them, too. Late actor and comedian Manobala had stated that whenever Thalapathy invited to his house, he would make dosas for him. Manobala would have them with chutney and Vijay would have his dosas with chicken curry, one of his favourites.
Vijay's father, actor, producer and director SA Chandrasekhar, too, had revealed that Vijay would make dosas for him whenever he went to his place. In many old interviews, Vijay is seen making dosas.
On the film front, Vijay is currently busy shooting for Lokesh Kanagaraj's Leo in Chennai. The film has an ensemble cast including Trisha, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Sarja, Priya Anand, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Mysskin, Mansoor Ali Khan, Babu Antony, Joju George, Sandy Master and Mathew Thomas among others. The film marks Lokesh's second collaboration with Vijay after Master.
The team had shot a majority of the portions in Kashmir, which included almost the entire cast and crew. As a tribute to the team, the makers dropped a BTS video which featured the crew narrating their harrowing experiences that include scouting locations in adverse climates, cleaning vessels and stitching clothes in Kashmir's cold weather.
The film is bankrolled by Seven Screen Studio and Jagadish Palanisamy and is likely to be part of Lokesh Kanagaraj's Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU).
