The horror-comedy film 'Stree 2' has been having a successful run at the box office since its theatrical release on August 15. Starring Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor in the lead, the film is a sequel to 'Stree' that was released in 2018. The film continues from where the story ends in the first part and takes us back to the town of Chanderi. This time the people in the town are facing a new 'aatanak' called Sarkata (a headless man), who has super powers and is non the hunt for modern women of the town.

Today, we introduce you to the scary-looking headless villain called Sarkata. In the film, Sarkata is shown to be very tall and towers over every human in Chanderi. Turns out, the actor who played the role of Sarkata is actually taller than average Indian human.

Standing tall at 7 feet 7 inches, Sunil Kumar is the man behind Sarkata. He hails from Jammu and is known as The Great Khali of Jammu. He is in reality taller than the popular Indian WWE wrestler. According to reports, he serves as a constable in the Jammu and Kashmir Police and even indulges in wrestling. He got a job under the sports quota as he plays handball and volleyball. In 2019, he took part in the WWE Tryout.

Director Amar Kaushik in an interview with Bollywood Hungama spoke about how he found Sunil Kumar and cast him as the new villain. "The casting team found him. We wanted a man with such height, and he fit the bill. We used his body shots while the face of Sarkata was CGI-generated,"
