Wrestler Dalip Singh, better known as The Great Khali in the World Wide Entertainment (WWE) international circuit, is coming to Bollywood!
Khali, originally from Himachal Pradesh, worked with the Punjab Police.
He won the Mr India title in 1997 and 1998. In 1999 he went to the US and joined the All Pro Wrestling School. And there was no looking back, after that!
Khali lives in Atlanta, but now the 35-year-old is looking at Bollywood and will star in Ramaa – the Saviour, a children’s adventure film, produced by actor Sahil Khan, who plays Ramaa.
Sahil says, “I was looking for someone real and I’m happy to have found him. I’ve always been a big fan of WWE and Khali.”
The movie, which has Tanushree Dutta too, will be shot in Vietnam and Burma.
Incidentally, Khali was very clear that his debut film role should be a positive role. He has a huge fan following among kids in India, and that’s mainly why, he wanted to avoid playing a negative role.
He’s acted in the Hollywood film – The Longest Yard – and will now be seen in a more prominent role, in the upcoming movie – Get Smart – starring Steve Carell, Bill Murray and The Rock.
“Dalip is excited about the release and can’t wait for the rest of the world to see how his acting has progressed since the last time,” says Raj Makhija, his business manager in India.
Khali is likely to come to India in a couple of months. So is Bollywood on in a big way for the big man?
“There are some other Bollywood offers too that he is considering. He likes Sunny Deol, Sanjay Dutt, Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar and would like to do movies with them,” says Makhija.
