Actor Kiran Raj spent three months in Thailand learning mixed martial arts (MMA) to prepare for his role as Ronny in the upcoming film, "Ronny: The Ruler," where he portrays a mass-y character for the first time in his career. Kiran emphasizes the importance of mastering skills to deliver perfect stunts on set in order to connect better with audiences. In the movie, he plays two characters — Raghav and Ronny — facing different challenges. Kiran also underwent weight training to portray the age gap between the two characters. Regarding his move to the action genre, Kiran believes that cinema should provide entertainment rather than delivering messages. He values his collaboration with director Gurutej Shetty and expresses his focus on transitioning from television to films to continue engaging with his fans.
