The main villain of ‘Stree 2’, Sarkata, who locked horns with Shraddha Kapoor’s titular Stree in Amar Kaushik’s sequel, is actually essayed by a real man – the 7 foot 6 inches tall guy, Sunil Kumar from Jammu, India, who happens to be a police constable by profession, and is famously known as ‘The Great Khali of Jammu’.
Moreover, Sunil Kumar is a professional wrestler with the ring name, The Great Angaar.
Speaking about his casting, the director of the film said in a new interview, “The casting team found him. We wanted a man with such a height and he fit the bill.”
“We used his body shots while the face of Sarkata was generated through CGI,” he disclosed.
