The hot news for the day will definitely be this one. America’s popular boxer Mike Tyson has expressed his interest to watch the Kollywood movie Irudhi Suttru released on January 29. It is not an everyday event that an unrelated professional boxer looking forward keen to watch an Indian boxing film.

The team is very much happy on seeing his Facebook post and several media has used it as a promotion for the movie. Indeed we can tell as the actors Madhavan and Ritika Singh are reaping fruits for all the hard work they have done. Directed by Sudha Kongara, the movie’s plot runs around unearthing a woman boxing champion from the slums of Chennai.

Prabhu is an Indian boxing association coach stationed at the Sports Authority of India, Hisar. He is arrogant, rude and a highly successful women's boxing coach. Above all he is a loner and has no time for social norms. He believes the girls who come to him for training come with absolutely no vision, and he gives them the vision. Prabhu becomes a victim of the association politics. He is transferred to Tamil Nadu, a state with dismal boxers on false sexual harassment charges. Prabhu challenges the corrupt old guard that he will make a champion wherever he maybe.

In this quest, he meets a 17-year-old fish seller with a rare fighting spirit but least interested in the sport. Mathi's never taken orders from anyone and Prabhu has never had an order disobeyed. It's a battle of wills between the reluctant girl who has all the talent and is least interested in promoting it and a man who sees in her the capacity to achieve what he never could.

When these two extremely similar characters collide, the chain reaction is a life altering melt down for them both. Wry, funny, and powerfully emotional, it’s essentially a story of two outcasts who heal each other.
