Randeep Hooda Sarbjit

Actor Randeep Hooda, on learning about the death of Sarabjit Singh's killer, said that karma does catch up even if through unknown men. Mr Hooda essayed the role of Singh in the 2016 biographical drama 'Sarbjit'.

Randeep Hooda's recent release Swatantrya Veer Savarkar is currently running in cinemas

"Almost took the life outta me," wrote Randeep Hooda

"Sarbjit was a hyped film but my performance in Laal Rang was equally appreciated; it was one of my favourite films. So all this is going to accumulate into my filmography which will be seen by people. I hope I get better films," said Randeep Hooda

It is better if he is an actor because he knows what actors go through. I've always liked directors who are actors as well. It's always an advantage. The disadvantage is when directors have not been actors but are wannabe actors. That is difficult. They haven't done acting but they have an actor within," says Randeep Hood.

"In Pakistan the system is a distribution company first approaches the information ministry for importing and releasing an Indian film the ministry than asks the censor board to review content of the film"

Actor Randeep Hooda plays the titular role in the film while actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan played his sister Dalbir Kaur and Richa plays Sarabjit Singh's wife Sukhpreet

Randeep Hooda reportedly did not attend the screening of Sarbjit at Cannes as it was not being screened as part of the festival proceedings like other films, say, Anurag Kashyap's Raman Raghav 2.0, which premiered at the Directors' Fortnight section and had critics from around the globe reviewing it

Sarbjit revolves Sarabjit's sister Dalbir Kaur's struggle and relentless fight for her brother's freedom. Randeep Hooda played the titular role in Sarbjit while Aishwarya Rai Bachchan played the role of his sister

"Of course, it (playing Sarabjit on screen) has been my most Herculean task. I am glad people are appreciating it. But as an artiste, I would say that my best role is yet to come," said Randeep Hooda

"I don't make movies for awards. It should be seen by everyone. It should be a success in that way. You are not making a film for yourself obviously. If we do get awards, then nothing like it," said Omung Kumar

"I had always admired your talent, but after watching you in Sarbjit last night I could not resist writing to you and expressing my immense admiration for your work in the film. May you continue to prosper and may you give us many more occasions to applaud you and your tremendous talent," Big B wrote in the note

Sarbjit chronicles the life of Indian farmer Sarabjit Singh (played by Randeep Hooda) who was killed in a Pakistani jail. It also tells the story of his sister Dalbir kaur (played by Aishwarya Rai), who leaves no stone unturned to get justice for her brother

"It was a matter of great joy that I found my brother in Randeep. In the film, he is not just a hero, but also my brother. When I had come on the first day, he was given a shot in a small room. I actually felt that my sher is sitting in that room," said Dalbir Kaur

I am not sure if that happens here as well. If you treat somebody for such things just because of their nationality and not their crime, then, if it happens in India or Pakistan, it is always wrong," said Randeep
