In a recent interview, Sunil Kumar opened up on the experience of working in the horror comedy. He told Pinkvilla, “Aise mauj masti chalti thi set pe to kaafi maza aata tha shooting karne mein” (There used to be a lot of fun on the sets and I enjoyed shooting).
He also added that everyone on the sets was extremely nice, but he had a ball interacting with Shraddha, who he says is very fond of talking! He said, “Unke saath acha lagta tha baatein karna, bahut time pass hota tha bahut saari baatein karte the vo. Main thoda shy type ka hoon, thodi kam baatein karta hoon magar vo bahut zyada karte the (I liked talking to her. I’m shy type, but she talks a lot so we would have a great time).”
Talking more about Sunil, a deeper look into his background reveals that Sunil Kumar is also recognized by his wrestling name, ‘The Great Angaar.’ In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, director Amar Kaushik shared that his casting team discovered Kumar and chose him for the role due to his impressive height and physique. Kaushik explained that while Kumar’s body shots were used for the character, Sarkata’s face was created using CGI. Kumar is credited as Sarkata in the film’s end credits.
Outside of his cinematic roles, Kumar dedicates his time to serving the people of Jammu and Kashmir as a constable. He also enjoys handball and volleyball and participated in a WWE Tryout in 2019. Born on December 16, 1990, Kumar aspires to represent India in the WWE Championship. Notably, he is five inches taller than the retired wrestler The Great Khali (Dalip Singh Rana).
