Bollywood actor Sunny Singh is playing Lakshmana in 'Adipurush', the Ramayana-based movie. The news is that the actor has opened up on the prep work for the challenging role in the 3D epic drama.

The actor revealed that director Om Raut instructed him to go in for a muscular body before he began shooting for the the Prabhas-Kriti Sanon starrer. He was a regular at the gym in order to get into the right shape. Sunny has already shot for a few scenes.

Recently, there were reports that Kiccha Sudeepa will be playing Vibhishana. Commenting on the reports, the 'Eega' actor said, "The 'Adipurush' team has contacted my manager but I have not met them yet personally. Discussions are going on, it is too early to react on it."

Prabhas is gung ho about this ambitious project. The 'Radhe Shyam' actor is expected to get a bigger market in North India if this film becomes a massive hit.
