Ritika
Singh
is
being
praised
for
her
performance
in
her
debut
film
Irudhi
Suttru
but
the
boxer-actress
says
she
doesn't
expect
to
be
flooded
with
movie
offers.
"I
am
enjoying
the
attention
right
now.
It
feels
nice
that
people
want
to
know
about
your
work,
your
first
film.
I
want
to
act
in
future
too
but
I
am
a
realist.
I
am
prepared
to
get
no
work
after
this," Ritika
told
PTI.
Also
starring
R
Madhavan
in
the
lead
role,
the
sports
based
movie
released
this
Friday.
A
professional
boxer,
Ritika
says
acting
was
never
on
her
mind
but
the
opportunity
of
working
with
Madhavan
was
too
big
to
let
go.
"I
never
thought
about
acting.
I
felt
I
wouldn't
be
able
to
do
this.
I
don't
know
how
Maddy
sir
contacted
me
but
when
he
narrated
the
story,
I
went
into
complete
shock.
My
first
reaction
was
'When
are
we
starting
it?' Also
it
was
giving
me
a
chance
to
play
a
boxer
on
screen."
Even
though
the
film
has
hit
screens,
it
still
feels
surreal
to
her
that
she
has
entered
the
film
industry
and
made
friends
with
some
influential
people
here.
Having
finally
been
bitten
by
the
acting
bug,
Ritika
wants
to
do
characters
of
substance
and
focus
on
strong
scripts.
"I
really
want
to
act
and
act
in
great
roles,
which
have
scope
for
performance.
I
don't
want
to
do
sing-and-dance
routine.
I
believe
script
is
the
king
so
I
would
go
for
powerful
stories,"
she
said.
The
actress
wants
to
juggle
between
her
acting
and
boxing,
and
use
her
fame
to
help
boxing
gain
more
attention
in
the
country.
"I
have
this
ambition
that
when
I
become
powerful
and
famous,
I
will
host
an
event
of
boxing
or
kick-boxing
which
the
entire
nation
watches.
That
way,
this
sport
will
gain
attention.
People
will
realise
that
there
is
a
lot
of
talent
in
India."
Ritika
said
before
signing
off.
