Actor Bharath has hit the gym with a determined goal to bag the muscular physique. The new pictures of the actor in a muscular look have been making rounds online.

Bharath explains, “I have been working hard for more than four months to get that muscular look. I’m on a protein diet, and I have been spending six hours in the gym everyday. It has become my second home these days. My fitness trainer Shiva is my pillar of strength. I underwent a complete muscular training to develop the muscular fit. People wonder how, but all I can say is, I was able to do it with sheer determination.”

He adds, “This look is for my upcoming film 555, directed by Sasi. This is an action film and I felt it was necessary to sport a stunning physique.” How has the feedback been so far? He says, “Suriya appreciated my efforts. He said that he could understand the challenge behind the workout. He was the first to sport eight-pack abs in Vaaranam Aayiram. So, he was talking to me about how difficult it could have been at the gym. His words really recharged me. Even Arya and Karthi congratulated me.”
