'Earlier, I used to do a few yoga postures just on Yoga Day. But from last July, I began taking yoga seriously.' he shared.
"I practiced consistently for about 45 minutes to an hour every day until February this year, when I had to stop due to illness. Still, during that time, I felt my body becoming remarkably comfortable and flexible," he added.
The actor also stressed the importance of integrating yoga into everyday life for its mental clarity, physical strength, and overall wellness benefits.
'JSK' set for June 27 release
'Janaki Vs State of Kerala', where Suresh Gopi will be seen playing a lawyer, is scheduled to release on June 27. The movie is directed by Pravin Narayanan who has also written the script of this court drama. Apart from Suresh Gopi, the film also has Anupama Parameswaran, Madhav Suresh, Divya Pillai, Askar Ali, Kottayam Ramesh and many others in pivotal roles.
On the other hand, Suresh Gopi's previous hit film was the investigative thriller 'Garudan' which received 3.5 star rating from ETimes with our official review reading, "There is one specific point towards the end that can be guessed immediately before the scene takes place but it takes nothing out of the movie even though the audiences were screaming the plot twist. The punch does land and it's a satisfying watch. Midhun Manuel Thomas faltered at some point with the script but despite that the film is enjoyable and it recovers towards the end.
The story by Jinesh is appealing while it does have some expected elements. While it is a thriller about a rapist, it doesn't make audiences cringe. There is a subtlety with which it is carried that makes it palatable for audiences who do not prefer to see gore on screen."
