But there’s an untold story behind his 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.”

It remains to be seen how makers will make SSR fit into Khali’s frame of —seven ft one inch and weighing 157 kilos. A trade analyst told the daily, “What worked in Sushant’s favor
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.
