Arun Vijay’s herculean avatar for ‘Boxer’

He’s been a man of relentless workouts and fitness freak and his insatiable passion to push the bars remains inevitable. Moreover, as soon as the official word was out on “Boxer” and his role, his fans were animated with huge expectations pondering if they would get a glimpse of his preparation for the project. Especially with a mentor like Peter Hein and their embarkation together into the school of LEIN PHONG, one of the world’s most celebrated martial arts training hub located in Vietnam, the pulses among fans found themselves on high rhythmic tempos.

Filmmaker Vivek says, “It’s been a month long hectic training for Arun Vijay sir. Everyone knows that he is a perfectionist in maintaining an awe-inspiring fitness in real life. He has taken additional efforts for our film “Boxer”. In accordance to the suggestion of Peter Hein Master, he underwent training at Lein Phong in Vietnam. It wasn’t an easy deal as Arun Vijay sir had to train himself continuously for 8 hours a day and despite this fact, he remained cool and aplomb. I am really thankful to both of them for pampering this film as their own child. More than doing their job on professional front, they are emotionally bounded to this film, which I believe will definitely escalate the film to a greater magnitude. I thank local trainer Sundeep for his wonderful support throughout this process. This video is just a glimpse of what we have done so far and there are lots more compilations, which involves the rigorous and painstaking efforts of Arun Vijay sir. More than all, we wanted to present this video as his fans have been curiously looking up for. When I say fans, they aren’t merely the ones who watch his films, but invariably follow him for his fitness style”

Following a month long training session, Arun Vijay returned back to Chennai before couple of days and is currently holidaying with his family. As planned, the shooting will commence by this June and will proceed accordingly with its schedules.

The film revolves around a reigning boxer and his turbulent journey of combating the evil within. Ritika Singh would be seen playing the role of a sports journalist in this film and there is a myriad star-cast in prominent roles. D  Imman is composing music for this film  and the others in the technical team includes C.S. Balachandar (Art), Nadan (Editor), Peter Hein (Stunts), Hina (Stylist), Arun (Costumes). With Vivek scripting and directing, V Mathiyalagan produces the film for Etcetera Entertainment

Arun Vijay's next film to go on Floors

ARUN VIJAY’S NEXT FILM “BOXER’ 

TO GO ON FLOORS FROM MARCH 2019 

Actor Arun Vijay has never left his nerves loose and has always been on the ‘Get-Go’ mode to grab the energy-consuming roles. He is completely invigorated over his upcoming film ‘Boxer’, which he feels has all extremities to unleash his potentials. The film is bankrolled by V Mathiyalagan of Etcetera Entertainment, which is based on boxing sports. Sharing his words of excitements, Arun Vijay says, “Everything from the inception of project has been enthralling me. Even the announcement was a surprise as we had initially planned to make it by January 2019. But it came as an unheralded birthday gift from producer V Mathiyalagan sir of Etcetera Entertainment. I am completely charged up doing this project as I had always dreamt of doing a sports based film. The script has lots of emotional and inspiring elements that instantly appealed to me. Usually, sports based films we have seen till now will have a struggling protagonist rising to fame at end. Whereas here in this film, the hero will be a top league boxer by the beginning and he has to confront his own negatives to push the bars ahead.”

The actor will have his training kick-started in Malaysia and Vietnam from December. “It will include both freestyle boxing and martial arts, where stunt choreographer Peter Hein got me in touch with some of the best masters to train me,” says Arun Vijay 

On his part, debut filmmaker Vivek, a former associate of director Bala says, “Initially, when I completed the first draft, i realized that the protoganist emotions was so deep and i was disturbed by it. Later, i narrated screenplay treatment  to Mathiyalagan sir and he felt the same and thrilled. I didn’t have anyone in mind. But later while flipping through the final draft, I could feel Arun Vijay sir would befittingly strike it well with 100% perfection. Of course, he is already an epitome of huge inspiration for many when it comes to fitness and workout. Coincidentally, producer Mathiyalagan sir too felt the same and then I narrated the script to Arun sir. He was so much impressed and admitted that working in sports based film was his long run dream.”  Filmmaker Vivek adds that although the film will have racy course of narration with emotions, there will be a lovely romantic track as well. 

Right now, Boxer is in its period of overture, where the cast and crew are yet to be finalized. For the moment, Markus A Lujungbern(DOP) from london has signed the project and female lead approaches in Bollywood is in process 

The film is produced by V Mathiyalagan of Etcetera Entertainment, who recently took over the complete rights of Nayanthara’s Kolaiyudhir Kaalam. Shooting of this film will go on floors once, Arun Vijay completes wrapping up with ‘Agni Siragugal’, which has Vijay Antony in another lead role, directed by filmmaker Naveen.
