Behind the Scenes: Arun Vijay Gets Fit for Dual Looks in ‘Irulan’

Arun Vijay is hitting the gym hard as he prepares for his upcoming film "Irulan", directed by Muthiah. The actor revealed that the story, based on a real event, demands two contrasting appearances – an old‑school look and a modern, athletic frame.

In an interview, Vijay explained that he is shedding weight to achieve a lean, toned body for the contemporary sections, while also rehearsing the mannerisms of a bygone era for the period scenes. He posted a workout snapshot on Instagram with the caption, "AV38 action schedule in full swing".

The production has already logged around 25 days of shooting in the Tirunelveli‑Thuthukudi locale. With period sequences wrapped up, the focus has shifted to present‑day scenes that blend family drama, intense action, and emotional storytelling, catering to a broad audience.
