To wake up at 5am and think about that monster of a drill session waiting for me was, at times, good enough reason to make some random excuse and just stay in bed.!! But @drewnealpt got me to respect the discipline and with time I realised how much it helped in evolving my overall skills as a boxer.To quote the legendary Cus Damato "Discipline is doing what you hate but doing it like you love it." I guess thats the mantra for improvement in any aspect of life, right? Thank you for the valuable lesson @drewnealpt @samir_jaura @darrellfoster #ToofaanUthega #21stMay #ToofaanOnPrime" he wrote.He also posted a picture on Twitter where he is all ready to pack a punch.He wrote: "Come on April.youre not fooling me .!! #ToofaanUthega #ToofaanOnPrime #21stMay."The film has been directed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra and also features Mrunal Thakur, Paresh Rawal, Supriya Pathak Kapur and Hussain Dalal.
