It all started when Simbu saw Mahat’s toned up body trained by Sandeep Raj, a celebrity fitness trainer. When the actor wanted to start physical training, Mahat introduced Sandeep to him. The duo started working on it since last November. Talking about the experience of training Simbu, Sandeep says that Simbu didn’t lose weight for his movies or to prove a point to others. “He did it for his fans and loved ones who stood up for him during his tough times” Sandeep said.

Sandeep says that Simbu initially wanted to reduce the belly fat. “But training him was a different experience” he said and went on to explain about the new lifestyle of the actor. “Simbu starts his day at 4 : 30 am with a brisk walk. Then we hit the gym and work on various body parts.” said Sandeep who added that they started with strength and resistance training. He said that Simbu used to work out for 4 days a week and now he is working out for 5 days. While sharing about his daily activities, Sandeep says that the actor is a kind of person who loves to do various sports activities and will easily get bored of doing same activity over and over again.
