The spectacle points to a bid for gritty, realistic boxing on screen from makers who stress the story is fictional.

Overview

  • Glory, which unveiled its trailer Friday at a Mumbai event, staged a live exhibition fight between actor Pulkit Samrat and pro boxer Neeraj Goyat that officials called a draw.
  • Several outlets reported that Samrat became the first Indian actor to box a professional in such a setting, a claim presented as media reporting rather than an independently verified record.
  • The series is a sports‑crime mystery set in a fictional Haryana town, following two brothers who probe an assault on their sister and the death of a young Olympic boxing hopeful.
  • Creator Karan Anshuman said the team trained with Indian boxers and prioritized authentic footwork and fight craft, while clarifying that no character or incident is based on real people.
  • Glory streams on Netflix May 1 and features Pulkit Samrat, Divyenndu, and Suvinder Vicky, with Anshuman drawing on his track record in Inside Edge and Mirzapur to set tone and scale.
