His trainer shares Varanasi star’s workout and diet routine"},"content":{"rendered":"

Mahesh Babu<\/a> is currently shooting for his next mega project with ace filmmaker SS Rajamouli<\/a>, officially titled Varanasi. The makers recently held a grand launch event for the movie on November 15 in Hyderabad, which was also livestreamed on JioHotstar. Mahesh\u2019s much-awaited first look and title teaser were unveiled on stage, and in no time, clips from the event flooded social media. Fans could not stop gushing over the Telugu superstar\u2019s smile and youthful glow, making many wonder how the 50-year-old continues to look like he\u2019s still in his 20s.<\/p>\n

While Mahesh remains tight-lipped about his personal fitness routine, his trainer once spoke exclusively to a media portal and revealed the disciplined workout and lifestyle that keep the superstar in his best form. From sweating it out five days a week to eating multiple nutrient-rich meals a day, his fitness is not just for the camera, it\u2019s a permanent lifestyle.<\/p>\n

Mahesh Babu trains 365 days a year, not just for movie roles
Fitness coach Kumar Mannava once told TOI that Mahesh\u2019s dedication is exceptional even among actors. Mannava mentioned that most stars train aggressively only when preparing for a film role, but Mahesh is different. \u201cHe values his body throughout the year and never skips workouts,\u201d the trainer shared. The focus of their regime, he added, is not drastic transformations but maintaining a consistently lean and muscular frame.<\/p>\n

Mahesh follows a five-day-a-week workout schedule, and each session targets a specific body part, followed by extensive stretching. Mannava said stretching is a mandatory part of their routine to enhance flexibility and support the actor\u2019s action-heavy roles. Workouts generally last 60 to 90 minutes and are designed for overall fitness rather than just six-pack abs.<\/p>\n

His height makes muscle gain challenging, but discipline fills the gap
The trainer pointed out that Mahesh\u2019s tall frame means developing muscle mass, especially in the arms and legs, requires extra effort. “Because of his height and long limbs, getting muscle definition in certain areas takes more work,” Mannava explained. However, consistency and controlled training help the star overcome those challenges.
A balanced diet with 5\u20136 meals, no fad diets, no shortcuts
Along with workouts, Mahesh\u2019s nutrition plan is extremely structured. Mannava shared that the superstar eats five to six meals a day, including two supplement shakes. His diet always balances proteins, carbs and healthy fats, and he never follows extreme fad diets.
A rough outline of his daily meals includes:
<\/strong>
Breakfast<\/strong>: mush, a mix of oats, eggs, nuts and fruits
Post-workout:<\/strong> protein or nutritional shake
Lunch<\/strong>: a meat source (chicken, lamb or fish) paired with brown rice, quinoa or khus khus
Dinner<\/strong>: bread (brown or whole-wheat) with eggs or chicken, or another mix of protein and carbs<\/p>\n

The trainer also stated that Mahesh approaches fitness as a lifelong commitment. He stays active, maintains mobility, and prioritises genuine strength.<\/p>\n

With Varanasi now in production and the actor trending once again for his evergreen looks, it\u2019s clear that the fitness-first lifestyle is paying off. Mahesh Babu’s Varanasi will be released in Summer 2027. <\/p>\n
