Thursday, 5th June 2014, 03:00 PM IST Actor R Madhavan has been away from the limelight since quite a while. But now we hear that he is all set to play a boxer in a Hindi-Tamil bi-lingual titled, ‘Laal’. The film will be directed by Sudha Kongara.
Buzz is, the story is partially inspired by boxer Mohammad Ali's life. A source close to the development said, “The director has taken the core of Mohammad Ali's life in the ring and added fictional flourishes to it. Madhavan who has known Sudha from the time he worked with Mani in ‘Alai Payuthe’, ‘Kannathil Muttamital’ and ‘Guru’ planned and plotted the film together with the director and then took nearly a year off to prepare for his part.” Apparently, Madhavan has lost 15 kilos to look like a boxer. He said, “It's been a time of a complete physical revamp for me. I've been in LA training and preparing for my part. My entire body structure and body language has changed. I now walk and think like a boxer.” |
