Lagadapati Sridhar, producer says "A few of them could bag new offers based on their lean avatars. I think the divas are also shedding weight to match the well-built, chiseled bodies of their male Telugu stars on screen. Also, young viewers are exposed to Bollywood and Hollywood movies and their &lsquo;dream girls&rsquo; have to be svelte-looking divas. Compelling divas to spend more hours at the gym and post those pictures on their respective social media handles to enhance their follower base,"

Siayami Kher put on 10kgs weight for Anurag Kashyap's Bollywood film but she shed weight to star in Nagarjuna's Wild Dog.

I had to put some extra effort to regain my real self with the help of a trainer and by following strict food restrictions,"

Payal Rajput speaking to scribes says "I love to share my latest looks with my followers on social media. Looking gorgeous and fit in a glam outfit is the key for a Telugu actress so I am game for it," Producer C.Kalyan says&nbsp; "Actresses like Anushka Shetty and Ileana D Cruz faced a lot of difficulties in their weight-loss attempts. Their weight issues affected their subsequent films,"

Director Hemanth Madhukar says "Actresses can choose prosthetics or computer graphics work to get that heavier look instead of spoiling their health and career. Also, a few actresses don&rsquo;t look great after losing their chubby-cheeks glow. Above all, the south Indian palate is different from B-town, and divas need to grab that point."
