WHAT? THIS BOLLYWOOD HUNK TO PLAY THE GREAT KHALI IN HIS BIOPIC?

The season of biopics just got bigger and better with an upcoming biopic being made on none other than the big man, The Great Khali. And we've got some inside casting news on the film which will get you all pumped up for this highly exciting project! And the actor who is set to play The Great Khali will have to really pull up his socks to live up to the iconic wrestler. Any guesses on who that might be because trust us when we say this, get ready to get your jaws dropped!

The actor who has been in talks to play Khali on the big screen is none other than Sushant Singh Rajput. An insider from the project revealed the details to the media and was quoted as saying, “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 added, “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.”

Sushant Singh Rajput had played MS Dhoni in his biopic last year and has also signed a film on Paralympic gold medalist Murlikant Petkar. It remains to be seen how makers will make SSR fit into Khali’s massive frame—seven ft one inch tall and weighing 157 kilos.

A trade analyst who preferred to remain unnamed said, “What worked in Sushant’s favour during Dhoni was that he looked, walked and talked like MSD. 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.”

We totally agree with the trade analyst as we also think it'd be damn tough for any actor to fill in Khali's shoes!
