Sarpatta Parambarai first look poster: Arya stuns with unbelievable physique

The first look poster of Pa Ranjith’s upcoming Tamil film Sarpatta Parambarai, which sees a beefed-up Arya in the role of a boxer, was unveiled on Wednesday. The film is tipped to explore the boxing culture of North Chennai in the 1990s.

The poster features Arya in a boxing ring with a crowd of people cheering for him in the background.

The project marks the maiden collaboration between Arya and Pa Ranjith, who is best known for films such as Madras (2014), Kaala (2018) and Kabali (2016).

Amid rumours that the film could be the remake of Anurag Kashyap’s Mukkabaaz (2018), which was about caste politics and a boxer from a backward community, a source close to the director clarified that it’s an original script.

“The film will be about the boxing culture of the 1990s in North Chennai. It’ll be a very realistic tale,” the source added.   

Arya has worked out intensely to develop his physique for the role. Not long ago, he teased fans with his workout routine from the shoot on Twitter. In a video, he made doing a 150-kg squat look like a cakewalk.

Pa Ranjith had originally planned this movie with Suriya. For reasons unknown, this didn’t materialize, and the director roped in Arya.
