After starring in the biopic on cricketer MS Dhoni, Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput is now speculated to play WWE Wrestler The Great Khali on the big screen.

Regarding the development, A DNA report quoted an insider as saying:

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 (Singh Rajput) has been approached to play the titular role and he has in principle agreed to do the film.

The insider further indicated that the film would delve into the "untold story" of the wrestler.

... There’s an untold story behind his (the wrestler’s) super success. He was an officer for the Punjab state police and struggled for years before making it big in wrestling. The story will be about his journey.

Now, it remains to be seen how Rajput, whose physical stature is drastically different from that of Khali's, will be able to pull off the role (if he does play the role at all, that is!).
