It’s not superstar Mahesh Babu, but actor-filmmaker SJ Suryah, who will be sporting six-pack abs in his next film with filmmaker AR Murugadoss.

For the first time in his career, Suryah will undergo a makeover for the sake of a character. In the yet-untitled bilingual, he will also sport a clean shaven look, in which he has been spotted in public a few times recently. Apparently, Suryah spent the last two months on getting into shape, working very closely with a personal trainer.

The makers recently completed a three-week long schedule in Chennai where they shot key portions in a specially erected set in EVP world. The team plans to shoot two songs abroad and will leave on a foreign sojourn in mid-October. Tipped to be an action-thriller, the project will feature Mahesh as a stylish, Intelligence bureau officer.

Rakul Preet Singh is playing the female lead, apart from RJ Balaji, Priyadarshi Pullikonda and Dheepa Ramanujam who will be seen in important roles. Harris Jayaraj has been roped in to compose the tunes, while Santosh Sivan is cranking the camera.
