Mumbai, April 9: Acclaimed Bollywood actor Randeep Hooda is all set to make a powerful comeback to the action genre with his upcoming pan-India film Jaat, scheduled for release this Thursday. Known for his intense performances and versatile roles, Hooda will take center stage in a high-octane action avatar for the first time in five years, since his Hollywood debut in Extraction, where he starred alongside Chris Hemsworth under the direction of Sam Hargrave and production by the Russo Brothers.
Directed by celebrated Telugu filmmaker Gopichand Malineni, Jaat marks Malineni’s debut in Bollywood and promises a perfect blend of gripping action, intense drama, and emotionally charged storytelling. The film is poised to deliver a cinematic experience that transcends language barriers, aiming to captivate audiences across the country.
In Jaat, Randeep Hooda essays the role of Ranatunga, a fearless and enigmatic figure whose journey is laced with grit, vengeance, and redemption. Speaking about his role and his return to action, Hooda shared, “I’ve always loved action—it’s raw, visceral, and electrifying. After playing intense roles in biopics and police dramas, slipping into the skin of someone as ruthless as Ranatunga was kicking. It challenged me physically and emotionally, and reminded me why I fell in love with this genre in the first place.”
The film boasts a stellar ensemble cast including the ever-intense Sunny Deol in a pivotal role, alongside the talented Regina Cassandra, the legendary Ramya Krishnan, the versatile Vineet Kumar Singh, and the dynamic Saiyami Kher. Each actor is expected to bring a unique layer to the film, adding to its rich narrative and emotional core.
Produced by Mythri Movie Makers in association with People Media Factory, Jaat is expected to set a new benchmark in Indian action cinema, with high production values, breathtaking stunts, and a story that resonates with the masses.
As the release date nears, anticipation is building among fans of Randeep Hooda and action cinema enthusiasts alike. With its gripping premise, stellar cast, and adrenaline-pumping sequences, Jaat is poised to leave a lasting mark and reaffirm Hooda’s status as one of Bollywood’s finest actors.
