Chiranjeevi may have started to be trained by a Mumbai-based physical trainer who has worked with Saman Khan in the past. The Megastar has to shed weight for one of the two roles in his next, directed by Koratala Shiva. And the senior actor has embarked on the journey in earnest. It will take several weeks before there is a perceptible change in his weight.

As per the buzz in the industry, it was Salman Khan who had advised Chiru to work with this particular trainer. Ram Charan, who has been friends with the 'Bharat' actor, is said to have made this possible.

Meanwhile, 'Sye Raa' completed its shoot a few days back and its currently in the post-production phase. The DI work commenced earlier this week. It will hit the screens on a grade scale in October.
