Chennai, Aug 10 Putting out another intense video of him training with boxing trainer Juls Oliquino Estigoy, well known Tamil actor Mahat Raghavendra has now said that life doesn't get easier but that he's getting stronger.
It may be recalled that Mahat Raghavendra, known for his standout roles in films such as Mankatha, Backbench Student, and Double XL, is now actively pursuing his passion for the sport of boxing.
Mahat had disclosed that he was taking up boxing after being inspired by actor Ajith Kumar, who is bringing laurels to the nation on the International car racing circuit.
Taking to his Instagram page to post the video of his training session, Mahat Raghavendra wrote, "Life doesn’t get easier , but i get stronger. Thank you juls @atleta.training.society for the amazing sessions. Miss our morning sessions mate. #boxing #workout #keepgrinding #staypositive #stayfocused #keepgoing"
For the unaware, Mahat has been rigorously training in India, followed by an intensive three-month boxing mentorship in Australia.
The highlight of his boxing journey was the opportunity to train under Koen Mazoudier, the 2025 Australian Super Welterweight Boxing Champion. Mahat had in a post earlier described the experience as “an incredible journey of power, speed, focus, balance, and skill.” The actor said he had immersed himself in the champion’s world, embracing the challenges of elite-level training while balancing his acting commitments.
“This wasn’t just about fitness—it was about building a fighter’s mindset,” Mahat had then said. “Working with Koen gave me a deeper understanding of focus, strategy, and the mental discipline it takes to succeed in any arena—whether in the ring or in front of the camera.”
This new chapter reflects Mahat’s commitment to personal growth and a deeper pursuit of excellence, both physically and artistically.
“I am deeply motivated by Ajith anna breaking stereo types. Ajith Anna’s car racing achievements show that actors can push boundaries and excel in undisputed areas!I shall strive to participate in competitive sports and prove my mettle," the actor had added.
Sources close to the actor said fans could expect to see a bolder, sharper version of Mahat in upcoming projects, with this real-world training experience likely to influence his future performances—especially in action-centric roles.
Mahat, a versatile Indian actor with a strong presence in Tamil and Telugu cinema, made his film debut with the massive hit 'Mankatha', featuring actor Ajith in the lead. He gained recognition through critically acclaimed roles in Mankatha, Jilla, Double XL, and Backbench Student.
