Here, glory doesn't come from pride; it comes from anger and something deeply personal. Dev isn't in the ring, but everything around it shapes him. That's what makes him so unpredictable. This has been one of my most nuanced characters. He is tough and impulsive, wears his heart on his sleeve, and loves and hates with the same intensity. There's a lot of pain there, but also a kind of restraint... and somehow, he never loses his humour, which speaks to the character's grounding in the region. Working with Karan Anshuman for the second time was special... he pushes you into uncomfortable spaces and never lets you take the easy route with a character." Pulkit Samrat added, "What pulled me into Glory was the truth of that world--it's tough, it's unforgiving, and that's what makes it beautiful, because every win matters and every step is earned. Ravi doesn't react, he absorbs--calm on the outside, fire within--and that space between control and breaking is where real strength is built. Playing him reminded me that greatness is about showing up again and again, even when it hurts, because champions are made in everything they survive. Grateful for this journey--this is just a glimpse." Glory will be released on May 1.
