Vijay Deverakonda Details Extreme Water Restriction for Liger Film Preparation
Actor Vijay Deverakonda discussed the intense physical preparation for his 2022 film Liger, revealing he drastically reduced his water intake from six liters to as low as 100-200 ml daily to achieve a shredded look. During shoots, he sometimes only licked ice cubes and endured dehydration, which he acknowledged was unhealthy. He also shared his craving for chilled coconut water after filming. The film, marking his Hindi debut, did not perform well at the box office.
