Randeep Hooda to possibly collaborate with Vijender Singh for a film

Not many know, but actor Randeep Hooda has an old connection with boxer Vijender Singh. Randeep has known Vijender even before the latter won an Olympic medal in the year 2008. The 39-year-old actor keeps a track of his friend’s boxing victories.

Just recently, Vijender defeated former WBC European champion, Kerry Hope, at Delhi’s Thyagraj Stadium and claimed the WBO Asia Pacific Super Middleweight title.

Randeep says, “It was his longest bout so far and I believe a great exercise for him. He wasn’t in the best form after suffering a few injuries but he did extremely well despite the odds. It’s a great feeling when sports other than cricket get so much support from people.”

Randeep has said that he has discussed a subject with Vijender and there may be a film collaboration soon, once the conversation veers ahead. Also when he was asked if he would be interested to work in a biopic on Vijender, he said, “I would if I am not too old for the role. Or else I can portray his coach.”
