Actor Kiran Raj spent three months in Thailand learning mixed martial arts (MMA) to prepare for his role as Ronny in his upcoming film, Ronny: The Ruler. This character marks his debut in a more action-packed role. Kiran acknowledges the importance of mastering skills to perform stunts seamlessly on set to engage with the audience effectively. In the movie, he plays two characters, Raghav and Ronny, navigating different challenges in their lives. Kiran also underwent weight training to physically differentiate between the two characters. When asked about his shift to the action genre, Kiran emphasizes the audience's need for entertainment rather than imparting a message, leaving the impact on viewers up to their interpretation. Kiran praises his collaboration with director Gurutej Shetty for their shared wavelength and easy working relationship. Despite his success in television, Kiran has opted to focus on his film career to continue to engage with his fans in a new medium.
