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.
Describing the process as far from easy, Suriya said, “At 30, it felt like running on a flat road. But now at 49, it’s like climbing a mountain.” To prepare, he dedicated himself to a rigorous 100-day program that went beyond physical workouts, requiring a complete lifestyle shift.
His advice on fitness after 40
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.
