Suriya’s intense 100-day transformation for Kanguva

In an interview with Mana Stars on May 5, Suriya opened up about the intense preparation he underwent for a major battle scene in Kanguva. While fitness has always played a role in his life, Suriya admitted that this particular transformation was among his most demanding.

His routine included a calorie-deficit diet, increased cardio sessions, and strict self-discipline. Reflecting on his achievement, he proudly said, “During the shoot, I followed a 100-day plan. In 100 days, with a natural body, I achieved six-packs.”

Though Suriya considers himself a foodie and credits his genetics for a body type that doesn’t easily gain weight, he acknowledged that the process wasn’t easy. After nearly a decade without pursuing a six-pack physique, getting back into such shape demanded sheer determination and focus.
