Vijay Deverakonda Details Unhealthy Water Restriction for Liger Body Transformation
Vijay Deverakonda revealed the extreme physical preparation he underwent for his 2022 film Liger, including drastically reducing his water intake from six liters to about 200 ml daily. In the final hours before shooting, he was only allowed to lick ice cubes, a routine he described as unhealthy and mentally taxing. He recalled craving water constantly and requesting chilled coconut water after shoots. Despite the film's box office failure, Vijay emphasized the intense effort behind his transformation.
