*Vikkals Vikram and Arathy Krishna's Lightweight, Baby! wraps 45-day shoot; first look to be unveiled in August* 

 *Chennai, July 29* 

The makers of the upcoming Tamil romantic entertainer *Lightweight, Baby!,* starring stand-up comedian *Vikkals Vikram* and fitness personality *Arathy Krishna,* have officially wrapped principal photography after a 45-day shoot spanning four schedules across *Chennai, Bengaluru, and Mysore.* 

 *Lightweight, Baby!* is a genre-blending entertainer set in the world of competitive fitness, where romance, family expectations, and personal ambition collide in a story filled with humor, heart, and high-stakes competition.

The film marks *Vikkals Vikram's first outing as a leading man,* following his popularity as a stand-up comedian and his appearance on the reality show Bigg Boss. He also pens the film's dialogues. Starring opposite him is Arathy Krishna, a well-known name in the fitness and bodybuilding community, in her first major screen role. The unconventional pairing has already sparked curiosity among audiences following the film's title announcement earlier this year.

Written and directed by *KC Guru,* the film is produced by *Hitha Studios,* with *Sagara Sandesh* serving as co-producer. The technical team includes *Pramod Kotiyan* as cinematographer, *Sarvanaa Subramaniam* as music director, *Harish Komme* as editor, and dialogues by *Vikkals Vikram.* 

 *Director KC Guru said:* 

"It's been an incredible journey over the last 45 days. Every schedule and every city brought something unique to this film. What started as an idea about two people from completely different worlds has now become a story we're genuinely proud of. While the shoot may be complete, another exciting phase begins in the edit room. We can't wait to introduce these characters to audiences."

 *Vikkals Vikram said:* 

"Playing a hero for the first time has been one of the most exciting experiences of my career. Getting the opportunity to write the dialogues alongside acting made the journey even more special. It's rare to shape a character both in front of the camera and on paper. I'm grateful to the entire team for this experience, and I genuinely believe audiences are in for a fun and heartfelt entertainer."

 *Arathy Krishna said:* 

"Fitness has always challenged me physically, but acting challenged me emotionally in completely new ways. Playing this character helped me discover a different side of myself, and I'm thankful to the entire team for making my first major film such a memorable experience. I'm excited for audiences to see the film."

With filming now complete, the team has shifted its focus to post-production. The *first look of Lightweight, Baby! will be unveiled in the second week of August,* with the film slated for a theatrical release later this year.
