Everyone knows that Salman Khan has mentored many young talents and has recommended many stars who share a good rapport with him in the industry. Randeep Hooda is one of them who shares a warm equation with the Bajrangi star after their successful film ‘Kick.’ Even though it has not been confirmed yet, whether Randeep will be a part in the sequel of ‘Kick,’ news is coming in that he has been signed on for Yash Raj Films next production ‘Sultan’ which stars Salman Khan in the lead.
Sources say, “Director Ali Abbas Zafar was searching for someone to play Salman’s wrestling coach. The role needed someone tall with a good physique and persona. It’s a meaty role. Salman felt that Randeep fit the bill, so he recommended his name. The team then approached Randeep and he agreed to come on board.”
Currently, Randeep has lost 20 kgs for his role in Sarabjit’s biopic where he plays the title role along with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. After that, he will need to bulk up for ‘Sultan’ and take wrestling lessons for the same.
Randeep Hooda was last seen playing the role of Charles Sobhraj in his crime film ‘Main aur Charles.’ ‘Sultan’ is scheduled to release in the month of July 2016 during the festival of Eid clashing with Shah Rukh Khan starrer ‘Raees.’
