Hooda has come a long way, and this endorsement from the director who first brought him to the big screen feels like a full circle moment. With Jaat, Randeep, who is renowned for his immersive roles and brooding intensity, has elevated his craft to a whole new level.

His depiction of Ranatunga, a heartless and ruthless foe, is both elegant and horrifying. According to reports, the part required a great deal of preparation, and the outcome is a chic and terrifying performance.

Sunny Deol also plays a strong role in the movie, but Hooda's antagonist strikes the ideal balance between the story and the drama by providing a strong foe. The face-offs between the two are absolutely thrilling.
