Since its August 15 release, ‘Stree 2’ has dominated the box office. The popularity of actor Sunil Kumar, who plays Sarkata in the movie, has increased as a result of the movie’s success. The villain in Amar Kaushik’s film is a 7.7-foot-tall constable from the Jammu and Kashmir Police. Sunil discussed his experiences on the set of ‘Stree 2’, which stars Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor.He further disclosed that in ‘Kalki 2898 AD’, he portrayed Amitabh Bachchan’s body double.
During an interview with IndiaToday.in, the actor revealed that he started getting offers for commercials and movies in the South because of his height. This brought him his part in ‘Kalki’, which he gladly accepted. “Even my family was so excited because we have all been fans of Amitabh Bachchan. And here I was, getting to play his body double. The shoot was also fun, as I got to do a lot of stunts,” he shared.
When Sunil Kumar recalled his meeting with Big B and stated it was an experience that would live on in his memory forever. He shared, “It was my first day on the set and when I entered the scene, Amitabh Sir and Prabhas Sir were sitting close by. I was getting ready for my action sequence, wearing the harness when Amit sir looked up at me. He came up to me and asked the camera person to click a photograph. He smiled and said, ‘Sabhi mere ko lambu bolte hai, aaj mujhse lamba koi mil gaya (Everyone calls me tall, but I have finally met someone taller than me)’.”
Sunil’s face was superimposed on Bachchan’s in ‘Kalki 2898 AD’, and in ‘Stree 2’, he had a VFX-created face on his body. When questioned if it felt disheartening that no one could recognise him, the actor said, “Initially, yes, a few of my friends did tell me that kya faida aise role ka (what’s the point of such roles) where no one knows it’s you. However, I have always been satisfied and happy with my work. But I was credited in Stree 2, and the director spoke about me. My photos went viral, and there’s no looking back. Everyone is really happy with the recognition that I have received. I am getting more calls and offers for work, and I am looking forward to this new journey.”
‘All-time blockbuster’ status has already been earned by ‘Stree 2’. At the domestic box office, the movie is all set to join the Rs 500 crore club.
