Sushant Singh Rajput to play wrestler The Great Khali in his biopic

Sushant Singh Rajput will be seen in a biopic soon on the Indian wrestler The Great Khali. It was reported that a big studio was planning another biopic with Sushant Singh Rajput after his last biopic on MS Dhoni. This is the third biopic that Sushant will be a part of. He played MS Dhoni in his earlier biopic and will also be doing a film on Paralympic gold medalist Murlikant Petkar.


An insider revealed, “The biopic is in 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 biopic will be based on the wrestler’s life will explore beyond the public eye as his earlier biopic on Dhoni. The source adds, “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.”


The only reason to see is how makers will make Sushant Singh Rajput fit into Khali’s frame of seven ft one inch and weighing 157 kilos. A source revealed, “What worked in Sushant’s favor during Dhoni was that he looked, walked and talked like MS Dhoni. Here, Sushant has no similarities with Khali when it comes to his body prototype and his height. Unless there’s a lot of VFX involved, it’s difficult to pull off a film on Khali. No hero in Bollywood will look convincing as The Great Khali unless there’s CGI.”
