Bengaluru, September 21: The latest trend of Bollywood of making biopics continues and this time, reports suggest that a movie will be filmed around a veteran WWE wrestler. He is none other than The Great Khali who is considered as the first-ever Indian to make a name for himself at the biggest pro-wrestling promotion in the world.
According to the reports of Pinkvilla, Sushant Singh Rajput will play the titular character in this movie. This will be his second biopic movie after Mahendra Singh Dhoni: The Untold Story, last year. Needless to say, if this project comes to reality, then it can take his career to an all-time high.
The source has published the following lines in order to reveal the basic content of 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."
Apparently, a leading production house has bought the rights from The Great Khali to film the movie that will focus on his early lives before WWE. The talks with Sushant is in progress and soon to be finalized since the actor has given a positive nod to it. Further confirmation on the same is expected in due course.
