Netflix’s Glory made a power-packed stop in Chandigarh, bringing the pulse of Haryana’s boxing belt closer to home. Actors Suvinder Vicky, Divyenndu, Pulkit Samrat, along with creator-director Karan Anshuman, arrive in the city to showcase the gripping trailer and offer a glimpse into the world of the series.
Glory is a riveting series about revenge and ambition, with a murder mystery at its core. Created by Karan Anshuman and Karmanya Ahuja, the series is set in the high-stakes world of Indian boxing, where the ring becomes a battleground for personal conflicts, buried secrets, and emotional reckoning. Here, every punch carries consequences and every round edges closer to the truth.
At its core, Glory brings to the fore a fractured family forced back together. Raghubir Singh (Suvinder Vicky), a formidable boxing coach driven by an obsession with Olympic glory, struggles to hold together a legacy that is slowly unraveling under the weight of strained relationships. His sons Dev (Divyenndu) and Ravi (Pulkit Samrat) return to Shaktigarh to uncover the truth behind the brutal assault on their sister Gudiya (Jannat Zubair) and the mysterious death of a rising Olympic boxing star — Nihal Singh.
Speaking about his role, Suvinder Vicky shares, “Raghubir Singh is not just a coach, he’s a man who has built his entire life around discipline. His world doesn’t allow for weakness, and neither does he. What fascinated me most was his silence. He doesn’t say much, but everything he does is rooted in years of grit, sacrifice, and an unshakable belief in what boxing stands for. There’s a quiet authority in that stillness. For Coach Raghubir, glory isn’t emotional, it’s earned through routine, through pain, through showing up every single day. The ring isn’t just a place for him; it’s a way of life… almost an obsession that supersedes everything else.”
Opening up about the intensity of portraying Devinder Singh, Divyenndu shares, “With Glory, what drew me in was how raw this world is. Here, glory doesn’t come from pride; it comes from anger and something deeply personal. Dev isn’t in the ring, but everything around it shapes him. That’s what makes him so unpredictable. This has been one of my most nuanced characters. He is tough and impulsive, wears his heart on his sleeve, and loves and hates with the same intensity. There’s a lot of pain there, but also a kind of restraint… and somehow, he never loses his humour, which speaks to the character’s grounding in the region. Working with Karan Anshuman for the second time was special — he pushes you into uncomfortable spaces and never lets you take the easy route with a character.”
Dev and Ravi, both emotionally layered characters, are navigating through life-altering circumstances. Their journey is anything but easy because “glory demands tyaag, balidaan aur kasht” (sacrifice, loss and suffering).
Reflecting on his character, Pulkit Samrat says, “What pulled me into Glory was the truth of that world—it’s tough, it’s unforgiving, and that’s what makes it beautiful, because every win matters and every step is earned. Ravi doesn’t react, he absorbs—calm on the outside, fire within—and that space between control and breaking is where real strength is built. Playing him reminded me that greatness is about showing up again and again, even when it hurts, because champions are made in everything they survive. Grateful for this journey—this is just a glimpse.”
The Netflix series also includes Jannat Zubair, Ashutosh Rana, Sikandar Kher, Sayani Gupta, Yashpal Sharma, Kashmira Pardeshi and Kunal Thakur.
Produced by Mohit Shah and Karan Anshuman under the Atomic Films banner, Glory is written by Anshuman, Ahuja, and Vaibhav Vishal, and directed by Anshuman and Kanishk Varma.
