Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], April 18 (ANI): Actor Pulkit Samrat made headlines at the trailer launch of 'Glory' when he stepped into the boxing ring for a live exhibition match against pro boxer Neeraj Goyat.

Pulkit, who has taken on physically demanding roles in the past, appeared confident in the ring and drew cheers from the audience throughout the bout.

In no time, videos from the event began circulating online, with many users calling it an unusual and high-energy way to launch a project.

'Glory' has been created by Karan Anshuman and Karmanya Ahuja. The series features an ensemble cast including Pulkit Samrat, Divyenndu, Suvinder Vicky, Jannat Zubair, Ashutosh Rana, Sikandar Kher, Sayani Gupta, Yashpal Sharma and others.

Produced by Atomic Films, the project has been written by Karan, Karmanya Ahuja and Vaibhav Vishal. It is also directed by Karan Anshuman and Kanishk Varma.

The series is expected to premiere on May 1. (ANI)
