Upen Patel takes up no-salt diet and sheds 10kgs for 'Boomerang'

Upen Patel is playing an important role in the upcoming Tamil film ‘Boomerang’ with star Atharvaa Murali. For the climax scene of this action thriller, Upen wanted a ripped body and he decided to go on a no-salt diet. This diet helps one shed extra weight, including the fat and bulk on the face. The actor thought having the ripped and lean look was important for the high-octane action scenes.In the process, Upen also lost 10 kgs as his weight dropped from 75 kgs to 65 kgs. He says, “I replaced salt with dry and fresh herbs, jeera powder, oregano, thyme and parsley rosemary. It’s a good way to stay fit since, these ingredients give flavour to the food and you honestly don’t need salt.” Upen will be performing some exciting stunts and action scenes in the film. He’s been training hard for the role since January this year, when the film was first announced.
‘Boomerang’ is directed by R Kannan also features popular names like Megha Akash, Sathish, RJ Balaji and Suhasini Maniratnam.
