A source close to the production revealed that the makers were keen on casting Randeep Hooda for the role, as they believed he could bring a magnetic yet terrifying presence to Ranatunga. However, the actor had his own reservations about stepping into a non-Jaat character.

“When the producers approached Randeep for the role of Ranatunga, he was intrigued by the challenge but also unsure about taking that leap. But it was the passion and enthusiasm of the film’s director, Gopichand Malineni, during the narration that convinced him. More importantly, the opportunity to play the lead villain opposite Sunny Deol, whom he greatly admires, was the deciding factor that made him say yes,” the source shared.

With Jaat promising high-octane action, an engaging storyline, and intense face-offs, fans are eagerly waiting to see Randeep Hooda in his most larger-than-life avatar yet. His transformation into Ranatunga is set to be a highlight of the film, and audiences can’t wait to witness his sinister brilliance on the big screen.
