Reportedly, the biopic will explore the life of Khali and will told the success story of how a Punjab state police officer made it big in wrestling.

Speaking about the same, a source told a leading daily that, “The biopic is on the life of wrestler Dalip Singh Rana, better known as Khali or The Great Khali in WWE circle. The studio has spoken to the Punjabi wrestler and he has given them the rights to make a film on his life. Sushant has been approached to play the titular role and he has in principle agreed to do the film.”
But, one thing that's worth wondering is how Sushant will fit into the shoes of the WWE wrestler who is 7’1” tall and weighs about 157 kilos!

Speaking about the same, a trade analyst told DNA that, “What worked in Sushant’s favour during Dhoni was that he looked, walked and talked like MSD. Here, Sushant has no similarities with Khali when it comes to his body prototype and his height. Unless there’s a lot of VFX involved, it’s difficult to pull off a film on Khali. No hero in Bollywood will look convincing as The Great Khali, unless there’s CGI”.
Khali is a popular name in India as he has also appeared in films like 'Ramaa: The Saviour', 'Kushti' among others and also emerged as the runner-up of popular reality show 'Bigg Boss 4'.
Last year, Sushant got huge appreciation for playing the role of cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni in his biopic titled 'M. S. Dhoni: The Untold Story'. And if this news turned out to be true then it will surely be interesting to see Sushant as 'The Great Khali' onscreen.
