'Irudhi Suttru' Girl Ritika Wants To Concentrate On Both Acting & Boxing!
Boxer-turned-actress Ritika Singh wants to balance both her training in boxing as well as acting in films. Ritika, a national-level kick-boxer, is well-versed in mixed martial arts and karate. Now, she is making her debut in films with actor R Madhavan in Irudhi Suttru.
"I would love to do films as it is a different experience. I am open to do all kind of films. I want to try something else as I can't do action. I have got beaten up and beat up people. I will continue to train whenever I have fights. I have a knee injury... hope it gets well soon," Ritika told reporters at an event.
Film-maker Rajkumar Hirani is co-producing the Hindi version of the film, which releases on January 29. "It was a dream come true as in my first film I have Rajkumar Hirani as the producer and Madhavan as my co-star. Who can get a better role than this?" Ritika said.
When asked her about facing competition in the industry, she said, "I am not an insecure person. Thanks to my training in martial arts I have it in me to appreciate good work, say wow and say 'You deserve it'."
Ritika's father, who was present at the event, is proud of his daughter and her achievements in life so far. Ritika said she is inspired by American mixed martial artist-actress Ronda Rousey.
"I am inspired by Ronda Rousey. She is a fighter and a superstar who is doing films. She is focused and dedicated. I want to be like like her as a person." Ritika said.
