The highly anticipated film “Jaat” is all set to hit theaters, starring Sunny Deol and Randeep Hooda. In this upcoming movie, Hooda plays the role of “Rantunga,” a ruthless villain. To get into character, Hooda didn’t just focus on physical transformation by gaining weight, but also worked on modulating his voice to bring depth to his portrayal. According to a source close to the film’s production, Hooda’s dedication to his craft is unparalleled. “Whether he’s playing a hero or a villain, Randeep completely immerses himself in the character and puts in immense effort to bring it to life,” the source revealed. “For ‘Jaat,’ he started working on his character from day one, growing his hair and honing his physique to make Rantunga appear more menacing.”
This isn’t the first time Hooda has undergone a significant transformation for a role. He has previously shown his range in films like “Sarbjit” (2016) and “Swatantra Veer Savarkar” (2024). The source noted, “Randeep never backs down from giving his all to a character, be it Sarbjit, Swatantra Veer Savarkar, or Jaat. Fans appreciate his commitment, and as Rantunga, he will once again deliver something new and outstanding.”
In an earlier statement, Hooda shared his thoughts on playing Rantunga, saying, “I’ve played negative roles before, but Rantunga is the most dangerous character I’ve portrayed. He’s violent, eccentric, and extremely cruel.”
Directed by Gopichand Malineni, “Jaat” boasts an ensemble cast, including Sunny Deol, Vinneth Kumar Singh, Saiyami Kher, and Regina Cassandra, alongside Randeep Hooda. Produced by Maitri Movie Makers and People Media Factory, the film is slated for release on April 10 in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu. With its promising cast and crew, “Jaat” is generating significant buzz among movie enthusiasts, who are eagerly awaiting its theatrical release.
