Sharwanand’s transformation in recent years goes beyond cinema. In 2019, while shooting for Jaanu, the Telugu remake of 96, he suffered a major shoulder injury during a skydiving stunt. The accident required surgery and months of rest. His weight soon climbed to 92 kilos. What began as a phase of frustration slowly turned into one of the most defining chapters of his life.
Speaking to Hyderabad Times, Sharwanand recalled how the incident became a turning point. “The accident changed everything for me. I was on antibiotics for months, constantly hungry, and kept gaining weight. I didn’t realize how far I’d gone until much later,” he said. Two years ago, when he was offered Biker, a film where he had to play an 18-year-old, it pushed him to begin his transformation journey.
Sharwanand adopted a strict routine that focused on discipline and consistency. He started waking up at 4:30 a.m. every day to run laps at KBR Park, followed by gym sessions and evening walks. “For nearly eight months, I didn’t take a single break. That routine taught me patience and focus,” he shared.
Fatherhood brought another perspective. After his daughter was born, Sharwanand realized the importance of maintaining good health. “Earlier, fitness was about looking fit for a role. Now it’s about being there for my family,” he said.
Diet was another major challenge for the actor. Known to be a foodie, he struggled to adjust but eventually learned balance. “I didn’t starve. I just made sure I earned my meals. Fitness is 70 percent food and 30 percent training,” he explained. Over two years, he lost around 22 kilos, almost one kilo every month.
Talking about Biker, he said he wanted to “earn the look” rather than fake it. The film, which revolves around a father-son story, also gave him a chance to reconnect with his love for bikes. He is also currently busy with Nari Nari Naduma Murari and Bhogi. Biker is scheduled for release on December 6, and Nari Nari Naduma Murari for Sankranthi 2026.
