Ram Charan's Fitness Transformation

After years of training Salman Khan, fitness coach Rakkesh R Uddiyar has now turned his attention to Ram Charan. The renowned trainer frequently travels between Mumbai and Hyderabad for his work. As Ram Charan prepares for his upcoming film, Peddi, Rakkesh shared exclusive insights with Zoom about the actor's fitness journey and his preparation for the role of a wrestler in the film directed by Buchi Babu Sana. He described the 41-year-old actor as a mirror image of Salman Khan, commending his mental fortitude and commitment to fitness, even in the face of injuries and fatigue. Rakkesh believes that Ram Charan draws strength from his spiritual beliefs. He remarked, “Similar to Salman Khan, Ram Charan possesses remarkable strength. He sustained an injury on the set of Peddi but returned to work almost immediately. Mental resilience is crucial, and I think much of his strength is rooted in spirituality.”

Rakkesh elaborated on Ram Charan's fitness, stating, “Ram Charan has always maintained a lean physique. He resembles a younger version of Salman Khan. His abs are well-defined, and his chest is in excellent condition. When he occasionally falls out of shape, he quickly gets back on track with cardio. Charan is just as dedicated as Salman bhai; both prioritize morning cardio sessions.”
