After bagging back-to-back successes with F2: Fun & Frustration and Gaddalakonda Ganesh,
Varun Tej is gearing up for his upcoming project with debutante
Kiran Korrapati. Touted to be a sports-drama, the 30-year-old actor will be essaying the role of a professional
boxer
and to fit the bill, he already underwent an intense training program for two months in Los Angeles and worked on his body transformation. Olympic Gold Medalist Tony Jeffries has trained Varun in the boxing part and ‘Rocky’ actor Carl Weathers acted as a consultant.
On the personal front, Varun Tej is an ardent fan of the
DC universe
. Taking to social media, he expressed his love towards the superheroes on several occasions. During the recent Christmas Costume party, the ‘Fidaa’ actor got into the avatar of Joker and showed his admiration towards the fictional character.
Noticing his interest, the makers of the DC Universe have gifted Varun the official merchandise of
DC superheroes
. Reacting on the same, Varun Tej took his social handle and wrote “Some amazing guests decided to pay me a visit ! Thank you @hboindia for noticing my love for DC superheroes!!!”
Jointly bankrolled by Allu Venkatesh and Sidhu Mudda, Varun Tej’s untitled sports-drama is directed by debutante Kiran Korrapati. Hollywood stunt director
Larnell Stovall of Captain America and Kick Boxer fame has been roped in to compose the stunts. The technical crew of the flick includes Thaman for music and George C Williams for cinematography.
