Veteran actor Randeep Hooda is poised to captivate audiences once again with his role as the antagonist Ranatunga in the upcoming film "Jaat," opposite Bollywood powerhouse Sunny Deol.
Following the immense success of "Gadar 2," starring Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel, anticipation is high for Deol's next action-packed venture.
During the promotional events for "Jaat," Randeep Hooda expressed his longstanding admiration for Sunny Deol, noting that Deol has been a significant source of inspiration since his school days.
Hooda reminisced, "I remember vividly plastering his posters in our hostel cupboards using toothpaste—his presence was that impactful."
Continuing his tribute, Randeep stated, "Sunny Deol's commanding screen presence, his intensity, and his physicality made a profound impact on us growing up. We idolized him, and he motivated us to hit the gym and embrace fitness."
Randeep divulged that the opportunity to portray this robust action figure in "Jaat" was compelling primarily because it meant sharing the screen with Sunny Deol—a cinematic legend in this genre.
He emphasized that matching Deol's energy and charisma on screen is a dream for any actor, describing this opportunity as both an honor and a formidable challenge.
The trailer for "Jaat" has already left audiences eager, promising an electrifying face-off between Deol and Hooda in the latter's unprecedented avatar.
The film is being hailed as one of the most eagerly awaited showdowns in cinema.
"Jaat" is set to hit theaters on April 10, 2025, marking a date that film enthusiasts won't want to miss.
