Randeep Hooda about Jaat 

With the Sunny Deol-starrer, the actor returned to doing action on screen after five years. He last did action in the Hollywood film `Extraction` co-starring Chris Hemsworth. Talking about his return to action, Randeep Hooda shares, “I have always loved action as a genre. There is something raw, visceral, and thrilling about it. After playing intense characters in biopics and embodying law enforcement roles, getting to unleash my dark side as the menacing Ranatunga in Jaat has been exhilarating. I had been missing action, and this film gave me the perfect opportunity to get back into that space. The choreography, the high-octane sequences, and the sheer physicality of the role—it has been a challenging yet fulfilling experience. Playing a character who is as ruthless as he is charismatic is something I’m really looking forward to showcasing. Extraction was the first of its kind for me, to be an Indian actor taking on a full blown action role in the west, was a thrilling experience”.
