Sohail Khan will be seen playing a pugilist in a Bollywood film titled Aryan.
The movie marks the directorial debut of young actor Abhishek Kapoor who promises “an authentic boxing film” in his maiden attempt behind the camera.
The film stars Puneet Issar as Sohail’s boxing coach and newcomer Sneha Ullal (the Aishwarya look-alike) as Sohail’s love interest.
In the film, Sohail plays a struggling athlete who is frustrated in life because of his failures. He gets into competitive boxing with the goal to emerge as a national champion.
For his role in the film Sohail trained rigorously for over four months under professional coaches.
The Australian kickboxing champion, Amanda Buchanan, has choreographed the boxing bouts, while renowned foreign action director Chris Anderson has handled the action scenes in the film.
