Stree 2: Who is Sarkata? Everything You Need To Know About Most-Talked About Character From Horror-Drama
Stree 2, the horror-comedy that has taken the box office by storm, is captivating audiences not just with its stellar cast and gripping plot but also with its memorable characters. Among them, one character, in particular, has left an indelible mark—Sarkata, the headless terror whose presence looms large over the town of Chanderi.
While fans have been raving about the performances of Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor, it's the sinister figure of Sarkata that has become a focal point of discussion. This “perfect villain” has intrigued viewers, and many are curious about the actor who brought this fearsome character to life.
The filmmaker of Stree 2 has finally unveiled the actor behind the character that has spooked and thrilled audiences—Sunil Kumar. Hailing from Jammu, Sunil Kumar, often referred to as "The Great Khali of Jammu," stands at an imposing height of 7 feet 6 inches, even taller than the iconic Great Khali himself. Kumar, a professional wrestler known as "The Great Angaar," has also made his mark in the wrestling world, including participating in a WWE Tryout in 2019.
Sunil Kumar's journey into acting is as remarkable as his physical stature. His towering presence and unique build caught the attention of a local casting director during a wrestling event, leading to his transition into the world of cinema. While wrestling remains his primary passion—earning him a position in the Jammu and Kashmir Police under the sports quota—acting has opened new doors for him.
The role of Sarkata in Stree 2 demanded more than just physical prowess; it required a performance that could convey sheer terror without relying on dialogue. To achieve this, the filmmakers utilized a blend of Sunil Kumar's physical shots and CGI. Director Amar Kaushik revealed that while Kumar's body was used for the physical portrayal of Sarkata, the character's face was generated through CGI to give it an eerie, otherworldly appearance.
This fusion of live-action and digital effects was crucial in making Sarkata one of the most memorable characters in the film. The choice to maintain Kumar's imposing physicality while enhancing it with CGI created a villain that was both terrifying and believable.
As Stree 2 continues its triumphant run at the box office, the spotlight has also turned to its cast, particularly those like Sunil Kumar who have added depth and dimension to the film. Despite being a relatively minor character, Sarkata has captured the imagination of audiences, largely due to Kumar’s chilling performance.
While Sunil Kumar’s portrayal of Sarkata has brought him well-deserved recognition, Stree 2 has also further solidified the careers of its lead actors, including Shraddha Kapoor. The film, which features Kapoor as the daughter of Stree and Rajkummar Rao as "Chanderi ka rakshak," follows the haunting tale of Chanderi, where a new villain is abducting the town's women, prompting the return of Stree to defeat him.
Stree 2 is more than just a sequel; it's a testament to the power of storytelling, where even the most frightening characters, like Sarkata, can leave a lasting impact on the audience.
