Pulkit Samrat: Boxing Dream Realized on Screen

Pulkit Samrat is set to star as a boxer in the highly anticipated sports crime drama 'Glory', fulfilling a long-held acting aspiration. This project represents his debut as a lead actor in the Over-The-Top (OTT) streaming space, a role he describes as deeply personal and a dream character to portray.

The demanding production of 'Glory' concluded in mid-2025, a process Samrat characterized as both intense and addictive. He shared that embodying a boxer required immense discipline, grit, and consistent training, pushing him beyond his comfort zone. Samrat emphasized his commitment to artistic growth through challenging roles, stating his opposition to formula-driven performances.

Set to stream on Netflix, 'Glory' is a creation of Karan Anshuman and Karmanya Ahuja, produced by Atomic Films. The series features Pulkit alongside Divyenndu Sharma and Suvinder Vicky. Its narrative centers on a renowned boxing coach and his two estranged sons, whose aspirations for Olympic glory become entangled with hidden secrets and a quest for vengeance.

This role in 'Glory' showcases a grittier, more physically demanding side of Samrat, a departure from his previous work, notably the warmly received 'Fukrey' franchise, with its last installment released in 2023. The actor is poised to deliver a powerful performance in this high-stakes drama.
