While Shankar is off to China in search of locations, the director has instructed Vikram to take an off for at least three months to hit the gym for his avatar in 'I'.

Reportedly, the star will have several looks in the film that require him to work out like never before. Vikram will be seen in a leaner look in the first half of the film and has to pump his muscles for the second half. 

After Suriya, Vikram is probably the first actor in Kollywood who is working towards a chiseled body.

Girls hold your breath, a new super hunk is making his way to K-Town!
