Kunal Thakur says Glory reflects real struggles of boxers, reveals how wife Mukti Mohan helped him bag Raka’s role
  • Kunal’s big secret to getting the role
  • Learning the Haryanvi vibe
  • The raw look of Glory

We just saw Kunal Thakur opening up about his new film, Glory. It sounds like an intense ride. The movie shows the real life of boxers. It is not all pretty. It is gritty.

Kunal plays a character named Raka. He told everyone how his wife, Mukti Mohan, helped him get the part. Support system? Check. Love that for them.

The vibe of the film is very grounded. It has a dusty, earthy aesthetic. You can almost feel the heat of the boxing ring. Kunal had to change his whole look for this.

He did not just lift weights. He learned a Haryanvi accent too. That is hard work. Speaking of people doing their best, CBS News says their cameraman is recovering after a scary medical emergency.

Kunal says real boxers inspired his performance. He wanted to show their actual struggles. It reminds us of how legends sometimes face tough health news, like how Donald Gibb’s health was recently discussed.

If you love a story with some edge, you might like the Camp Miasma review we just posted. It is a total slasher homage. But back to Kunal—he really put his soul into Raka.

Our Take

We love seeing couples support each other. Mukti and Kunal are goals. The raw look of this movie is a breath of fresh air. No filters. Just real sweat.
