Venkatesh attends boxing  classes

Apart from building biceps and working out extensively for his role of a boxing coach in the forthcoming Telugu film (remake of ‘Saala Khadoos’), Venky is also undergoing intense training in Boxing. Since the film is a sports drama and is based on Boxing, Venky was keen in learning the nuances of the combat sport.

The actor has been receiving training in the boxing for an hour daily under a city-based professional to pick up the basics of the sport. Apparently, it was Venky who insisted that he learn the game to better understand and pull off his role.

“Venky will be seen boxing in a few sequences in the film. Hence, he has decided to be professionally trained, so that he doesn’t look uncomfortable as a hard task-master boxing coach while shooting for the scenes,” informs unit sources.

This is the first time Venky is starring in a sports-drama. He is excited about the idea of having to play the role of a boxer and was quite elated to get into the skin of the character. Directed by Sudha Kongara, the sports -drama that also features boxer Ritika Singh will go on floors in soon.
