This is that period of time in the Tamil film world that almost every hero wants to sport a six-pack-ab. After Shahrukh Khan displayed this supposed 'macho feature' in the film 'Om Shanti Om', almost every actor wants to sport one. Though surprising, Dhanush started it all in Tamil films displaying his abdomen in the film 'Polladhavan'.

Suriya decided to workout in order to obtain a six-pack-ab for Gautham Menon's 'Varanam Aayiram'. Since he had got into shape and it looked appealing on him, he wanted to continue with that look for his next project 'Ayan'. Now that his shooting portion for the film is over, reports suggest that he is back to his normal diet and workout.

Vishal had the packs for 'Satyam'. Looks like actors 'Jayam' Ravi and Vijay Arun too want to sport six-packs and are currently working out.

At a function recently, Sivakumar met these young actors and was aghast to see their cheeks all sunken-in with an unhealthy look (the side effects in sporting a six-pack ab). On returning home, the veteran actor known to endorse a healthy body, got hold of his second son Karthi and spoke to him at length against entertaining any thoughts of having a six-pack.

Now that big brother has one….wouldn't kid brother want one too?
