Opening up about the intensity of portraying Devinder Singh, Divyenndu shared, "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."

Pulkit Samrat added, "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."

Glory will be released on May 1.

The premise sounds intense. "Glory comes from anger" – that's a powerful and relatable sentiment in the competitive sports culture here. Hope they do justice to the emotional depth and don't just make it about the fights. The Haryanvi setting adds a unique flavor.

As an outsider looking in, I find these regional stories from India fascinating. The cast mentions are impressive. Pulkit Samrat's comment about "absorbing" rather than reacting is a great insight into his character. Looking forward to this on Netflix.

Respectfully, I hope the portrayal of Haryana is authentic and not just stereotypical "angry Jat" imagery. The state has produced so many champions, and their stories are about discipline and sacrifice, not just rage. Fingers crossed the writers got it right.

The teaser looks promising! The blend of a sports drama with a mystery/revenge plot is intriguing. Ashutosh Rana and Suvinder Vicky are always a treat to watch. This could be a solid addition to Netflix India's original content.
