New Delhi, Apr 10:
All set to make a transition from the boxing ring to the silver screen, star Indian pugilist Vijender Singh says the tryst with movies has helped him realise the importance of team work after carving his identity in an individual sport.
India’s first Olympics and World Championships medallist, Vijender is set to foray into Bollywood with ‘Fugly’, a social thriller backed by Superstar Akshay Kumar.
“Being part of a film for the first time, I realised the importance of team work because my sport is essentially an individual sport in which the onus is completely on me. So, it was a good experience to work in a team and learn to be patient,” Vijender said.
“Boxing is all about being aggressive and maintaining a tempo while you are in the ring but in film-making I realised how important it was to take a step back and be patient. In final analysis, both boxing and doing films are equally tough,” added the former world number one.(PTI)
