Sarkate Ka Aatank is currently making waves in cinemas. In this horror-comedy directed by Amar Kaushik, a headless villain named Sarkata is causing chaos in the town of Chanderi. The role of Sarkata is portrayed by a 7.7-foot-tall man, often referred to as the "Great Khali of Jammu." His real name is Sunil Kumar, a skilled wrestler who is also reportedly a constable in the Jammu and Kashmir Police. A deeper look into his profile reveals that he is known by his ring name, "The Great Angaar." 

In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, director Amar Kaushik mentioned that the casting team discovered Kumar and chose him for the role based on his impressive height and physique. While the body shots of Sarkata are of Kumar, the villain's face was created using CGI. In the movie's end credits, Kumar is acknowledged as Sarkata.

Outside of his film roles, Kumar dedicates his time to serving the people of Jammu and Kashmir as a constable. He also enjoys playing handball and volleyball and even participated in the WWE Tryout in 2019. Born on December 16, 1990, Kumar aspires to represent India in the WWE championship. While many recognize the name of the retired wrestler, The Great Khali (Dalip Singh Rana), it’s notable that Sunil Kumar stands five inches taller than him.
