Arun Vijay, who was last seen in Thadam, is currently preparing for his upcoming film, Boxer. The project will see him play a boxer and the Chekka Chivantha Vaanam actor has flown to Vietnam to train for the role at Lien Phong Training Center.

He will be learning mixed martial arts from Johnny Tri-Nguyen, who played the villain in Suriya’s 7aum Arivu and Atharvaa’s Irumbu Kuthirai. Arun Vijay shared a photo of himself with Tri-Nguyen on his official Twitter handle:
 

Directed by debutant Vivek, Boxer will see Arun Vijay share screen space with Ritika Singh, who is also a mixed martial artist. The Irudhi Suttru actor will be essaying the role of a boxer-turned-journalist in the film.

With music by Leon James and cinematography by Markus A Lujungbern (London), Boxer is expected to go on floors in June.
