Sushant Singh Rajput, who had played Mahendra Singh Dhoni in Neeraj Pandey’s ‘M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story’, will now be seen in the role of ‘The Great Khali’ in the wrestler’s biopic.
From ‘Bhaag Milkha Bhaag’, ‘Neerja’, ‘Paan Singh Tomar’, ‘Mary Kom’, ‘Azhar’, ‘Dangal’ and ‘M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story’; each movie has proved that this mantra is a huge hit among viewers. Bollywood has been basking in the success of its treasured trick of producing biopics on prominent personalities from last couple of years.
In fact, we all love to watch movies that
are made on athletes because it helps us experiencing and learning
about the struggles that they had to go through in the early stages of
their career and how their life changed after they found fame.
The biopic is on the life of wrestler Dalip Singh Rana,
better known as Khali or The Great Khali in WWE circle. The studio has
spoken to the Punjabi wrestler and he has given them the rights to make a
film on his life. Sushant has been approached to play the titular role
and he has in principle agreed to do the film”.
"People only know about the sporty side of this Indian-born American semi-retired professional wrestler, promoter, and actor. But there's an untold story behind his super success. He was an officer for the Punjab state police and struggled for years before making it big in wrestling. The story will be about his journey."
It will be a challenging role for the actor Sushant Singh Rajput as Khali and Sushant did not look alike.So, it will be difficult
to get into the skin of the character.
