Randeep Hooda is one of them who shares a warm equation with the Bajrangi star after their successful film ‘Kick.’ Even though it has not been confirmed yet, whether Randeep will be a part in the sequel of ‘Kick,’ news is coming in that he has been signed on for Yash Raj Films next production ‘Sultan’ which stars Salman Khan in the lead.

Sources say, “Director Ali Abbas Zafar was searching for someone to play Salman’s wrestling coach. The role needed someone tall with a good physique and persona. It’s a meaty role. Salman felt that Randeep fit the bill, so he recommended his name. The team then approached Randeep and he agreed to come on board.”
