Sudheer Babu is these days stretching himself like a bow, says a close aide of the actor. Reason? The 'Sammohanam' and 'Ninnu Dochukunduvate' actor is toning up for his roles in 'V' and the much-delayed biopic on Pullela Gopichand.

Sudheer is working out vigorously for 8 hours a day. A martial arts practitioner in the past, he had worked like this for the Hindi film 'Baaghi' back in 2016.

The talented actor will be working on 'V', directed by Mohankrishna Indraganti, and starring Natural Star Nani in the lead. He will share screen space with Aditi Rao Hydari and Nivetha Thomas in it.

As for the Gopichand biopic, it has been planned since at least 2016. To this day, it has been talked about in several unconfirmed media reports but there hasn't been any visible progress on the production front.
