Vijender Singh provided plenty of action in his
scintillating three round destruction of Sonny Whiting in his professional
debut last month which caught the eye of a world renown film director who
believes that the boxer could have a role in his forthcoming action epic.
The 30-year-old from Haryana is no stranger to the movie
world in his homeland where he is a national icon and has already starred in
the hit Bollywood film Fugly and has also appeared on the reality TV show MTV
Hero Roadies X2, but Singh could now be destined for the big screen and the
bright lights of Hollywood .
While the executive in question wishes to remain unnamed at
this stage and does not want to reveal too much as it is still in an
exploratory phase, he is excited by Vijender Singh and believes he can become a
mega crossover star like Asian stars Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan.
He said, “I’m very excited by Vijender and his potential and
we’re looking forward to seeing him up close on Saturday night and
taking it from there. I’ve only seen his first fight and being a boxing
fan, that was something special and some of my close associates also mentioned
it. He’s got a special commanding presence and aura about him in the
ring, likes he’s the king of the ring, and I think that it could transfer onto
screen, who knows, we just want to see him on Saturday first and
we’re hoping for another exciting performance.”
