Amar Kaushik’s film Stree 2 is loved by the audience for its blend of horror and comedy and its striking antagonist Sarkata. This supernatural character who creates chaos in the town of Chanderi is played by Sunil Kumar, also known as The Great Angaar in wrestling circles. The 7-foot-tall Kumar is not only a wrestler but also a police officer in the Jammu and Kashmir Police.

Sunil Kumar, hailed as the Great Khali of Jammu, plays the role of the headless monster Sarkata in Stree 2. Born on December 16, 1990, Kumar has already participated in a WWE tryout in 2019 and has expressed his desire to represent India in the WWE Championship. Despite his imposing stature, it is important to note that Sarkata’s face in the film was created using CGI while Kumar’s body shots were used for the character. According to director Amar Kaushik, the casting team discovered Kumar because of his height and physique.

“My team found Sunil Kumar and chose him for Sarkata’s role mainly based on his height and physical stature,” Kaushik told Bollywood Hungama. “While Kumar’s body shots were used for the character, Sarkata’s face was created using CGI.”

Kumar’s Instagram posts show photos with Rajkummar Rao, who plays Vicky in the film, and Tamannaah Bhatia, who makes a guest appearance as Shama. The film also stars Shraddha Kapoor, Pankaj Tripathi, Abhishek Banerjee and Aparshakti Khurana, and Varun Dhawan and Akshay Kumar make cameo appearances.

Stree 2 has been doing exceptionally well at the box office, benefiting particularly from the Raksha Bandhan festival. According to Sacnilk, strong performances in the Hindi mass markets are expected to help the film to net sales of at least Rs 37 crore. In just five days, the film has already collected Rs 228.45 crore.

The film’s first Monday is expected to be among the top five highest-grossing Mondays of all time and if the mass cinemas perform as expected, it could even make it into the top three. ‘Stree 2’ crossed the Rs 200 crore mark on Sunday, surpassing its Friday numbers.

“Kumar dedicates his time to serving the people of Jammu and Kashmir as a police officer,” said Kaushik, highlighting Kumar’s other commitments. Outside of his film role, Kumar enjoys playing handball and volleyball.

The sequel to the 2018 film ‘Stree’ has managed to captivate audiences with its blend of horror and humour and boasts a strong cast and an intriguing antagonist. As the film continues to do well at the box office, it could become one of the highest-grossing Hindi films of the year in its first week of release.

Starring Shraddha Kapoor, Pankaj Tripathi, Abhishek Banerjee, Aparshakti Khurana and with cameos from Varun Dhawan and Akshay Kumar, the film continues to make waves among audiences, especially in the Hindi mass markets. Stree 2 continues to be a box office hit and promises to do even bigger in the coming weeks.
