Mumbai
December 30, 2017
Actor Vineet Kumar Singh, who is playing a struggling
boxer in filmmaker Anurag Kashyaps forthcoming movie "Mukkabaaz", says he wants
to help real life boxers who are struggling.
Asked if knowing the sport
closely brought any changes in his mind, Vineet told IANS: "Of course, I would
love to contribute something to them. In the 'akhada' (wrestling arena), where I
used to practise, I saw so many boxers."
"Some, who are struggling even
though they are champions, and some are forced to retire, some are the victim of
politics. I also made friends with them. So I want to help them with my limited
capability so that awareness can be created."
In the film, the actor
fought with some of the real boxers and that made him think like a boxer.
"In the film, there was no action choreography and I fought against some of
the boxing champions like Neeraj Goyat, Deepak Tanwar and Sandeep Yadav. So yes,
I want our country to have more such champions, and as an actor and sports
enthusiast, I want to support these kind of sports individuals who have always
been ignored," he said.
"Mukkabaaz" is set to release on January 12,
2018.
