Bollywood star Sushant Singh Rajput is really on a roll. Despite the dismal performance of his last release, Raabta, the actor has his hands full with many interesting projects and is being approached for several other films.
The latest we hear that SSR has signed one more plum project, a biopic on the world-famous wrestler, The Great Khali, who came from humble roots and went on to garner name, fame and money in the area of wrestling.
A source reveals, "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."
The source further adds, "People only know about the sporty side of this Indian-born American semi-retired professional wrestler, promoter and actor. But there is 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."
Sushant Singh Rajput played Mahendra Singh Dhoni to perfection in the biopic, M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story. We are sure that the actor will do full justice to the role of the wrestling champion.
Meanwhile, Sushant is currently shooting for his upcoming film Kedarnath with debutante Sara Ali Khan. Post that, he will move on to his ambitious film Chanda Mama Door Ke, wherein he will play the role of an astronaut.
