The streaming platform has released the trailer for the highly awaited show which stars Divyenndu and Survinder Vicky in a serious sports crime thriller that includes themes of revenge and ambition and hidden family secrets.
The film Glory which Karan Anshuman and Karmanya Ahuja created shows Indian boxing matches as high stakes events because every encounter brings emotional weight that extends beyond the boxing ring.
Pulkit takes on his most physically demanding role in the series which requires him to portray Ravi a character who gets pulled into his hazardous past together with his brother.
The story traces the sequence of Dev having to return with Ravi to Shaktigarh in a sort of guilty conscience in quest of the justice.
Their mission revolves around two events which include the violent attack on their sister Gudiya who Jannat Zubair plays and the unexplained passing of Olympic boxing prospect Nihal Singh. What starts as a truth seeking expedition develops into an extensive conflict which centers around treachery and authority and hidden historical facts.
Suvinder Vicky plays Raghubir Singh who acts as the main character of the family story because he fights to maintain his broken heritage. The boxing world becomes more dangerous for Pulkit's Ravi when he must choose between family obligations and his need to stay alive.
Speaking about the series Tanya Bami, Director, Series, India at Netflix shares, “With Glory we set out to do something truly first of its kind a sports crime thriller that asks what ambition legacy, truth and revenge really mean when they collide at the highest stakes. Set against the fiercely competitive world of boxing and the thirst for the Olympic gold Glory goes far beyond the conventional sports drama layering intense emotion with a suspense driven core that keeps audiences on the edge of their seats. With Karan Anshuman's singular creative vision at the helm, and an exceptional ensemble in Divyenndu, Pulkit Samrat, Survinder Vicky, Sikander Kher, Ashutosh Rana, Sayani Gupta and Jannat Zubair we believe this series will be the perfect binge watch .”
