 | Jaa, born northeast of Thailand as Panom Yeerum, knew at the tender age of 15 that he wanted to be involved in martial arts after seeing Thai action-star hero Phanna Rithikrai in Born to Fight. |
| In Jaaâs film debut, Ong Bak: The Thai Warrior, the stuntman turned actor materializes his dream of being a Thai action hero and welcomes the opportunity to work with his mentor, Rithikrai, who trained him in kung fu and stunt work many years ago. |
| Jaa explains that other reasons for the delay were because Muay Thai films are traditionally unsuccessful, along with the industryâs skepticism about whether or not the film would find an audience. |
