Hooda, known for his compelling performances, has been receiving praise for his powerful on-screen presence alongside Deol. For him, Jaat is more than just another project - it is a personal milestone. Speaking about his admiration for Deol, Hooda revealed that he and his friends idolized the actor during their school days, even keeping his posters in their hostel cupboards for inspiration. “I have always been a huge fan of Sunny Deol.

Discussing his role in Jaat, Hooda expressed excitement about the opportunity to match Deol’s energy and action prowess on screen. “When I was offered the role, what convinced me the most was the chance to play this ultra-macho action star opposite a legend like Sunny sir. To match his intensity on screen is an actor’s dream. He is a powerhouse, and sharing this space with him is both a challenge and an honor,” he added.

Gopichand Malineni, who makes his Bollywood debut with this one, aims to deliver a high-octane cinematic experience, with Jaat that will feature Hooda and Deol set for a gripping face-off. With the film already generating buzz, audiences are eager to witness this action-packed showdown on the big screen.
