Unni Mukundan asks fans to make 6-pack abs like Marco rather than smoke to ‘feel man enough'
Actor Unni Mukundan put out a note on Instagram, asking fans not to follow anything unhealthy that his character Marco does, particularly smoking. He posted a still of himself from the film, urging them to make a six-pack like him instead if they needed to 'feel man enough'. Here's what he said.

Unni wrote about how the weight of a cigarette usually weighs around 1 gram and that shouldn't be enough to make people 'feel man enough'. He wrote, 'The weight of a single cigarette typically ranges between 0.7 to 1.0 grams, depending on the brand and type. So, the total weight (including the filter and paper) is generally about 1 gram on average. If that's how you feel Man enough, please reconsider your options.'
He pointed out that men tend to lift 50 kg of iron in the gym to get fit and choose that option instead, if they wanted to ape Marco, writing, 'FYI: Men lift 50 kgs of iron to actually go high. Guys, Choice is yours. P.S: Easier to mimic the Marco with Cigs on hand. Try being the Marco with Six Pack on hand. To be the latter, you will need something called, The Grit.' The still he posted from the film shows him flaunting his six pack while covered in blood.

Fans seemed impressed with Unni's health advisory, with many agreeing with him and leaving heart or fire emojis. One fan commented, 'Rightly said!!! That's my U! God bless you always.' Another wrote, 'Ya definitely, to actually become like Marco with Six Packs on hand , lifting 50kgs iron, definitely needs, the "GRIT"...proper commitments, strong determination, amidst difficult situations ...definitely a sign of " bravery"..so just keep it Unni Sir.'
For the unversed, Unni played a gangster called Marco in the 2024 film directed by Haneef Adeni. The film is a standalone spin-off of the 2019 film Mikhael, starring Nivin Pauly. While Marco features some characters from Mikhael, they're placed in a different universe and a different story. The film, touted to be one of the 'most violent films' made in India shows the titular character go on a rampage after the death of his foster brother.

Ed Sheeran on his friendship with 'most talented' Arijit Singh: I'm so grateful he shared his talent with me
Ed Sheeran has shared a heartfelt story of his recent musical collaboration with Arijit Singh, calling him 'one of the most talented humans' he's ever met. In a detailed Instagram post, the British singer spoke of how he first discovered Arijit's music through 'Tum Hi Ho' from the film 'Aashiqui 2', and was immediately spellbound. Sheeran said he reached out to Arijit years ago and expressed his desire to collaborate. He wrote, 'i first became aware of @arijitsingh music when i watched Aashiqui 2 and heard Tum Hi Ho. I was proper spellbound by his voice, the song, the scene in the movie." He continued, "I checked him out, and got in touch, and said whenever you wanna sing together i'm down. he was playing london, so i went to guest with him and sing Perfect there, it was an incredible show. I played him an early version of Sapphire in the dressing room, and he instantly had ideas for instruments and melodies.' Sheeran revealed that he and Arijit exchanged ideas over email before meeting in person in India while Sheeran was on tour with his father. 'We then were pen pals over email for a bit, until I was in India for tour. I said to him, we should finish this in person, and he said, please come to my home town so I can show you my home and culture," he wrote. Ed continued, "I was with my dad on tour, which is a rarity to get so much one on one time with him. Me and him got a flight to Kolkata, then a 5 and a half hour drive to his home town. We arrived, went on a barge down the river which was stunning, then got a scooty back to the studio where we finished the song,' wrote the 'Galway Girl' hitmaker. The experience was personal for Sheeran, who called it a 'core memory' he'll always cherish with his father. He added, 'Arijit taught me Punjabi and how to pronounce it all properly, and showed me Sitar. We then had dinner, and scooted around the village to see the sunset and moon with my dad. was a proper core memory i'll always cherish with my father, and i'm honoured to have created in this way with Arijit.' 'He's one of the most talented humans ive ever met, and i'm so grateful he shared his talent with me for this song. The full Punjabi version we recorded will be out in a couple of weeks, but until then I'll be drip-feeding fun videos from our time together. enjoy,' Sheeran added, closing his message with deep admiration for Arijit.

Last Updated: The film, directed by David Michôd and co-written by Michôd and Mirrah Foulkes, will chronicle the rise and turbulent life of Christy Martin. Sydney Sweeney is going through a complete physical transformation for her next big role. The Euphoria star, who will portray legendary boxer Christy Martin in an upcoming biopic, revealed in a new W Magazine cover story that she gained more than 14 kg (over 30 pounds) during training. 'I came onboard to play Christy, and I had about three and a half months of training," Sweeney said. 'I started eating. I weight-trained in the morning for an hour, kickboxed midday for about two hours, and then weight-trained again at night for an hour." Her body, she said, underwent a dramatic shift. 'I didn't fit in any of my clothes. I'm usually a size 23 in jeans, and I was wearing a size 27. My b*obs got bigger. And my bu*t got huge. It was crazy! I was like, Oh my god," Sweeney admitted, adding that despite the changes, she felt incredibly empowered: 'But it was amazing: I was so strong, like crazy strong." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sydney Sweeney (@sydney_sweeney) The film, directed by David Michôd and co-written by Michôd and Mirrah Foulkes, will chronicle the rise and turbulent life of Christy Martin, one of the most recognised female boxers of the 1990s.

'Over the past few months, I've been immersed in training to bring to life the story of an incredible woman — a true champion who fought battles both inside and outside the ring," she wrote, adding, 'Her journey is a testament to resilience, strength, and hope."
