Actor Lukman Avaran’s remarkable physical transformation for his role in Alappuzha Gymkhana has taken social media by storm. The actor, who shed 12 kilograms in just a year, has shared his fitness journey, revealing how he went from 85 kg to 73 kg through rigorous workouts, all while maintaining his muscle mass.

Lukman began his workout regime in January 2024, specifically for his role in the film directed by Khalid Rahman. He attributed his transformation to a disciplined exercise routine and a strict diet, despite his love for food. His fitness journey was not without challenges; during the shoot, Lukman also sustained an injury. However, he remained committed to his fitness routine without taking a break, as he stated in his social media post.
