Method acting and method actors always surprise onlookers with the extremes they tend to go for a film. Vikram for I, surprised each and everyone with his dedication to reduce his weight and increase it as well. He reduced so much that even a maverick director like Shankar was surprised to see go through all that. Aamir Khan as well for Dangal did go to extremes for the role of a coach and boxer.
Now, there are several instances in Telugu Cinema as well, where the actors have gone complete method for a role and lived in it. Megastar Chiranjeevi for Swayam Krushi learned how weave shoes, and for Puli Raju in Aaradhana he learned the village slang for a month. Nagarjuna Akkineni for devotee roles like Annamayya, Sri Ramadasu and Hathi Ram Babaji, changed his diet and also attended dialect coaching. Venkatesh grew more muscle for his next offering Guru.
Following these examples, Allu Arjun who is playing Brahmin cook in Duvvada Jagannadam has decided to go Vegetarian for the entire length of the film shoot it seems. Even though the actor was not required to do so, he chose to be in the character as the community could turn up disappointed with his performance. He doesn’t want the Sarrainodu body to dominate in this role it seems and to get everything right he took such measures it seems. The film is scheduled for a May release and currently, the shoot is going on in Mysuru.
