First Rank Raju
a year ago, has been waiting for his second film, Raju Kannada Medium. Gurunandan says that he had to face a lot of challenges to do this role. He says that he lost ten kg to look like a school going boy. Losing the weight is not a big issue but losing it in just 2 weeks had been tough for him. As the dates should match with the co-stars, Gurunandan has no other go than working hard to shed his weight. While he was on a diet, he ate grilled chicken, egg whites and boiled vegetables. After shedding weight and shooting the portions, he had to gain weight again. Gurunandan also faced a tough situation during the second schedule. While shooting in Malnad, his skin peeled off and he suffered a lot, as he had gone shirtless in the scorching sun. However, the shooting had gone well and the film came out great, says Gurunandan.
