About Sunny Deol's Jaat
The trailer for his upcoming film Jaat was unveiled last month and shows Sunny Deol's character, 'JAAT', locking horns with antagonist Randeep Hooda (Ranatunga). With this film, Sunny promises to bring the magic of his 'dhaai kilo ka haath' to impress the South audience after winning over the North.
"Ye dhai kilo ke haath ki taakat pura north dekh chuka hai. Ab south dekhega. (The north has already seen the power of this two-and-a-half-kilo arm. Now, the south will see it)," Sunny can be seen saying this at the end of the trailer, leaving fans nostalgic as the iconic dialogue was first used in Damini, for which Sunny won the National Film Award for Best Supporting Actor in 1993.
The high-octane film is directed by Gopichand Malineni and produced by Mythri Movie Makers and People Media Factory. It is set to hit theatres on April 10 and will be available in Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil.
Speaking to ANI, Randeep Hooda, who plays the antagonist Rana Tunga, was asked about the essence of the title 'Jaat' and the significance of the term.
Hooda shared, "Actually, in the movie, Jaat is not just a community, an agent, or an individual; it's an emotion. Jat people are known for their patriotism, justice, action, truth, daring, soft hearts, anger, and love. I am a Jat myself, and when I first heard of the movie, I thought, why am I not playing a Jat role? But then I realized that Sunny Sir is doing the Jat role, and I am happy to be part of this film in the role of Rana Tunga."
"At the end of the day, the film glorifies the Jat community or emotion, and I'm grateful to be a part of it," he added.
