Malayalam actor Nivin Pauly returned to India from Dubai recently. He was spotted at the airport with his family. But, what caught the attention of many people was how much lighter he has gotten since they last saw him.

Nivin Pauly was criticised by fans as he had put on weight, which affected his on-screen presence. His films also did not do well and people attributed their failure to Nivin's weight issues. It was stated that he was not getting the right scripts because he had become overweight.

He first gained weight as his roles in movies like Njandukalude Nattil Oridavela and Hey Jude demanded it. And since 2017, the actor seemingly made no effort to lose the weight he had gained for these films.

On the work front, Nivin Pauly completed shooting for a Tamil film titled Yezhu Kadal Yezhu Malai. Written and directed by Ram, the movie marks his return to Kollywood after a gap of five years. Nivin is also planning the sequel to his hit cop movie Action Hero Biju. Director Abrid Shine and Nivin, who is also the producer, are planning the film on a pan-India scale.
